I have been a foodie since birth — My mom still loves telling the story of two-year-old me asking to “just try” her mussels in red sauce… which I proceeded to polish off. What can I say? I’ve had good taste for a long time.
Some things never change — except now I’m just as obsessed with how real food makes us feel as I am with how it tastes. My nutrition degree and my own healing journey taught me that food truly is one of the most powerful tools for feeling grounded, energized, and well. You really are what you eat — cliché, but entirely too accurate.
All that’s to say, my goal is to make your life easier, healthier, and more delicious!

THE SECRET SAUCE
THE SECRET SAUCE
Not your average Private Chef
Growing up I was always eager to be my mom’s right-hand-man in the kitchen. She loved to host and frequently did. Because of her, hosting and feeding people has been engrained in my DNA since I was a little cherub.
I brought that same enthusiasm to college, despite being a broke student, I would find some way to scrounge up enough money to make “family dinner” with my girls, all of us pouring over the homemade meal. I went on to study nutrition and got even more engrossed with cooking to nourish myself and my community.
Since college, I’ve maintained my title as Supreme Hostess™ through several career pivots.
It dawned on me that I should do something with this passion of mine -- Cooking, nourishing, hosting. In August of 2025, I decided to do something about that nagging feeling. I stepped back from the sales world and jumped in to the world of entrepreneurship as a private chef in Austin, TX.
