Born on December 31st, 1984, I emerged with a wooden spoon in hand, destined to stir up the culinary world. With a deep-seated love for Southern cuisine, My culinary journey has been profoundly shaped by the vibrant flavors and techniques of Latin America, Korea, China, and Japan. For me, cooking is an act of love and a way to connect with the community.

With over 21 years of professional experience, I have perfected the art of cooking all while devoting myself to promoting sustainable food sources and food sovereignty for disenfranchised communities. My mission is to cultivate sustainable, equitable, and thriving kitchen cultures everywhere.

My culinary philosophy is simple: good food is the cornerstone of a strong community. Through dedication and passion, I continue to inspire and nourish those around me, one delicious dish at a time.
