Born and raised in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, I’ve always had a deep appreciation for food and the way it brings people together. My culinary journey led me to Kendall College, where I honed my skills before working in some of Chicago’s top restaurants. I’ve held roles such as Executive Sous Chef at Momotaro, Sous Chef at Japonais, Chef de Cuisine at Arami, and PDR Chef at Maxwell's Trading. Now, as a private chef, I specialize in crafting thoughtful, tailored dining experiences that highlight local and seasonal ingredients with French and Asian influences. Whether I’m drawing inspiration from restaurants like Ever and Boonies or experimenting with new flavors in my own kitchen, I’m constantly evolving my approach to food. When I’m not cooking, I enjoy relaxing with my Shiba, Mochi, exploring freelance photography, and discovering new restaurants that fuel my creativity. What I love most about my work is the freedom to be creative, collaborate with amazing clients, and curate unique dining experiences on my own terms. Every meal tells a story, and I’m passionate about making each one memorable.
