I was raised in a food-obsessed family, and owe this journey to my amazing parents. Fast food wasn't on the menu, and our dinners were always homemade, nutritious, and made with love. While a hospitality student at UMass Amherst, I spent a transformative semester in Florence, Italy, earning my culinary stripes and diving headfirst into learning everything I could about Italian cuisine.

As a private chef, I exclusively use ingredients I believe in, steering clear of anything enriched, bleached, or sprayed. My philosophy aligns with "you are what you eat," and I create dishes—ranging from pizzas and chicken parms to everything in between—with the intention of making you feel outstanding inside and out. I believe in the power of being in control of what we put in our bodies, and my food is crafted to be pronounceable, colorful, and traceable to the source. I want you to wake up with the anticipation of enjoying my food for dinner, just as I once eagerly awaited my parents' nightly culinary creations.
