Hey There
A foodie at heart, I was born into a family of cooks where Sunday evening family dinners were a staple. My passion for cooking and helping others improve their skills has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I hope to meet you soon, and work with you to either begin your journey, or help advance current techniques!
All About Me
My passion for cooking began in my grandmother’s kitchen in Seattle, where Sunday dinners filled the house with warmth and the aroma of home-cooked meals. That love for food led me to study Hotel and Restaurant Management at Washington State University and later deepen my culinary expertise at South Seattle Community College’s Culinary Arts program.
I honed my skills in professional kitchens, including Redhook Brewery and ARAMARK at the Boeing campus' (Seattle and Renton), where I learned leadership and operational excellence. After years in culinary roles, I transitioned into technology leadership and continuous improvement, gaining expertise in guiding teams through change and building strong organizational cultures.
Throughout my tech career, cooking remained my grounding force—I partnered with wineries for auction menus, guest-cooked at local restaurants, and hosted family gatherings.
Now, I’m returning to my roots, launching a consultancy dedicated to helping individuals and families bring wholesome meals back to their tables and strengthen community through shared dining experiences.
