About Me

My world expanded when I started understanding the ingredients that made up my food. After years of feeling uncertain about the quality of food from the grocery store or restaurants, I started prioritizing cooking at home. Pretty soon, there wasn’t a restaurant I preferred over a meal made in my own kitchen. I became passionate about getting as close to the source as possible. I connected with my local farmer’s markets, learned about the benefits of eating seasonally, and focused on simplicity. After all, when the produce is grown organically, on land that is cared for whole-heartedly, by people who understand the value of ancient practices, the ingredients speak for themselves.

I’ve now been cooking for around 7 years professionally and I’ve never been more passionate about this work. I feel especially lit up by intimate events, where I can connect to our guests about how each dish is designed to serve us in this season, at this event. My promise to each guest is that not only will the food be enjoyable, but the sensory experience will be filled with beauty and intention.

I am so grateful to have been part of the Lighthearted Kitchen chef team for nearly three years! Our brand mission constantly inspires me to continue educating myself and others on the value of regenerative agriculture and seasonal living.

Through this work, we’re cultivating a community that will advocate for the change that our planet and our bodies are calling for. I am so honored to be a part of this change.
