From there, I carried my passion into the restaurant world as an owner and operator, and later into the classroom as a culinary instructor. Each role deepened my belief that preparing food with intention can change lives.

Today, I focus on whole, vibrant foods that support health without sacrificing flavor. Whether it’s crafting a dish for family, hosting a cooking party, or teaching others how to bring more creativity into their kitchens, I approach each recipe with the same goal: to help people eat well, feel good, and come together.

Signature Dish:
My Pork Verde is a true family tradition, inspired by my grandmother. I’ve replicated it with whole-food ingredients, maintaining the rich flavor. It always brings smiles to the table and sparks stories that connect generations.

Cooking isn’t just what I do—it’s how I share love, create community, and inspire others to see food as both healing and joyful.
