"Every story has its beginning, and mine just so happens to unfold in the heart of a kitchen.

​

As a chef for many years, I sought to make an impact—an impact that transcends cultural barriers, connects people through shared experiences, and creates lasting memories. This passion has always been my guiding inspiration, continuing to inspire me every day. While my love for cooking never waned, I realized I wanted to explore a new way to connect with people—one that harnesses the power of the written word, another true passion.

Just as a well-crafted dish can evoke emotion and tell a story, I found that communication and storytelling could have a profound impact on a larger scale. This realization led me to transition from the kitchen to the world of communication, where I could help others share their stories and connect with their audience in meaningful ways. Motivated to broaden my impact, I decided to pursue a bachelor’s and then a master’s in communication from Johns Hopkins University. There, I fell in love with brand psychology—the drive to understand what truly resonates with people.

​

Since graduating, I’ve built my career around understanding nuance, predicting needs, and delivering messages that deeply resonate and connect with people on a personal level. Throughout every chapter of my journey, my commitment to crafting meaningful connections—whether through food, words, or stories—remains at the heart of everything I do."
