I am a Certified Executive Chef (American Culinary Federation) and a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and the Cincinnati Culinary Academy. I am very passionate about all areas of the culinary arts. I have taken Baking Classes in France and was part of a team of chefs who traveled to China to prepare American cuisine. I worked as a Campus Executive Chef at the University of Mary Washington, where I created and executed the COVID-19 playbook and menus for the safety of students. I also worked as a Catering Executive Chef at the College of William and Mary, preparing meals for the college president and her guests, including actress Glenn Close, CNN reporter Anderson Cooper, Senator Mark Warner, and former FBI Director James B. Comey. Additionally, I served as an advisor for Ugottaeat.com. My experience spans schools, universities, hospitals, and retirement homes. I have organized many private catering events and conducted in-home cooking classes.
