Summary
I have been in kitchens for the majority of my life. From school to home, and in my professional career. I am in love with food and the joy it can bring to people. I am passionate, hard working, and fast thinking. As I get older, my family and mental health take priority over all. Many see this as a weakness, but I disagree. It shows passion, commitment, and the ability to prioritize what is important. If given the ability to to provide adequately for my family and mental health, then I will care for you and your business in kind. I can promise three things. I will bring good food, good laughs, and a big heart wherever I go.
