My passion for holistic health started back in 2016 when I attended Bauman College, a holistic nutrition and

culinary arts school, in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Upon completion of the program, I began working and learning beside Chef Allen Campbell, TB12 Author and Chef.  Through this experience, I gained much knowledge on sports nutrition and cooking meals for clients looking to enhance their athletic performance. This inspired me to start my own personal chef/meal delivery business.  A couple years after starting my business, I began working with clients directly in their home as a Private Chef.  This jump started my excitement for getting the opportunity to plate and serve clients in the comfort of their home.    

 

Alongside my culinary education, I also hold certifications from IIN (Institute of Integrative Nutrition) as a Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and Gut Health Specialist as well as a Holistic Nutritionist Certification from AFPA (American Fitness Professionals Association). I especially enjoy cooking Italian and Mediterranean inspired cuisine.  In October 2023, I ventured out to Southern Italy where I completed the Evolution of Italian Cuisine at the Italian Culinary Institute. I received an in depth learning of regional Italian cooking, recipe development, exploration of local farmers markets, homemade pasta and baking as well as some cultural travel.
