I grew up in Arlington Heights, but have lived in Chicago for 25 years. I have 20 plus years in the industry. My very first job was as a host and I continued to work all positions in both the front and back of the house. I first fell in love with cooking while watching and learning in my mom's kitchen. I was classically trained in French cuisine at the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago. I have a strong focus in Caribbean, Southeast Asian, Mexican, Cajun, and beyond. I love exploring new cuisines! I love to travel, and eat my way around the world. As a personal chef I enjoy catering to individual needs and continuing to learn. I provide delicious, healthy and fresh meals to my clients each week. I also enjoy catering special events, providing delicious food with impeccable service to create amazing memories.

It depends on what I'm in the mood for. There's too many to choose from in this great city. Recently I discovered Thavaiva's Indian kitchen. It's like eating in someone's home with its casual atmosphere and home grown ingredients. I also love El Che not only for the delicious food, but also for its excellent service.
International comfort foods and recreating street foods. Most recently I've been making a lot of Pho, endless types of tacos, Arayes, and lots of soups.
Private chef and catering small groups.
The endless learning and creativity, as well as being able to eat well at all times :)
I love to travel, hike, and play tennis.
I love your vision of making chefs part of the whole company. Working as a team in all areas.
Being able to grow at your own pace.
