A Pittsburgh-based personal chef who loves being in the kitchen. Cooking has been my passion for as long as I can remember…. a space where creativity, adventure, and connection come together over delicious food.

My culinary journey began years ago, and I’ve been honing my craft ever since. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Entrepreneurship from Penn State University in 2019, which gave me the foundation to build my own business and share my love for food with others. In 2024, I completed a three-day Culinary Bootcamp at the Culinary Institute of America in San Antonio, and in 2025, I earned my ServSafe Food Manager Certification — both experiences that strengthened my culinary technique and commitment to food safety.

My style blends traditional and modern flavors with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Whether I’m crafting a custom menu for your special event or preparing your weekly meals, my goal is to make every meal one you actually enjoy (and to take a little stress off your plate in the process).

I love creating food that feels good to eat, and tailoring every detail to fit your tastes and needs. From cozy dinners to big celebrations, I’m here to make every occasion feel special, thoughtful, and easy.

Thank you for being here! I can’t wait to share my love for food with you.

Let’s chat about how I can help make your next event or meal prep effortless and delicious.
