About Me

I’m a self-taught private chef based in Boulder, CO — and food has been my language for as long as I can remember. I’ve cooked in professional kitchens and home ones since high school, and somewhere along the way, deepened by my own health journey and becoming a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, it became something more than a craft. It became how I care for myself and others.

I’m endlessly drawn to the rhythms of the season and understanding what’s coming out of the ground, what the farmers are excited about, what belongs on the table right now. That intimacy with local food systems and connection to place is the quiet thread running through every menu I create.

I cook with restraint and intention, believing the best ingredients don’t need much — just presence, curiosity, and a creative eye for what belongs together. My hope is always that people leave the table feeling nourished and a little more connected to their bodies and the world around them.

That’s the spirit behind the Pairing Project, the seasonal supper club I founded in Boulder — gatherings on local farms, menus built from the Colorado harvest, and a community that finds meaning in slowing down to share a meal together.
