With experience and travel, my passion for food grew over the years. The adrenaline rush I got from working in restaurants fed my competitive nature. I acknowledged that a formal culinary education is important for any Chef, and I recognized the best experience is to travel. I worked at various levels in kitchens all over North America and the Caribbean. I graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in New York and then started my professional career in New York City. My love for the outdoors lead me to Vail, Colorado where I was an Executive Chef, and ultimately here to Canmore, Alberta to realize my dream to open my own Private Chef/Catering company.
