About Me

I went to Riverside Culinary academy in 2019 and continued my training at The Salted Pig in downtown riverside. It was there i learned the fundamentals of restaurant cooking through working each station over the course of 3 years. Later moved on to Finca in San Juan Capistrano where i started as their woodfire burger cook every weekend for 6 months until i was promoted to sous chef. I was later offered a position cooking privately for clients a friend couldn’t keep due to time restraints, since then i have been cooking privately for several local clients offering private dinner parties, in home dinner services and meal prep services as well as working part time at The Ecology Center helping with their Community Table Events for the 2026 season when i wasn’t helping either the cafe, baking, or fermentation departments with various preparations. Ive loved learning more about the food that grows at the ecology center since i started working there and serving the guests at the community table events is genuinely an amazing experience im happy to be a part of. Im very passionate about cooking seasonal locally sourced food.
