My Story
I started cooking when I was 6 years old with my dad. I found a love for food and ingredients and what goes into a great meal. I cooked with my dad and family throughout my childhood and teen years and started to grow my passion as I entered my 20s.
​
I moved to the Hudson Valley for college and set cooking on the back burner with school and being a D1 rower. Being in the Hudson Valley was cool and I decided to stay after I graduated school. I discovered tons of local farmers, butchers and farmers markets that had such exceptional produce, meat and ingredients. My love for cooking was reignited and I started posting my cooking experiences on my instagram account.
​
Eventually, I started a separate account and started marketing myself as a private chef after cooking for large gatherings of friends and family. I loved being around people and I loved cooking food that made them happy.
​
I now offer private chef/catering events to the Hudson Valley and Albany areas to share my love and passion for food with others. Visit my contact page to reach out and book your next event with a private chef!
