Chef Bio
I started cooking at a young age with my grandparents and my mother, and I was fortunate enough to get a few restaurant jobs as a teenager. I soon fell in love with kitchens, cooking, and knew I wanted to become a Chef. I spent most of my career working in Miami and was lucky to work with James Beard nominated chefs. In 2023, I moved to the DMV and am excited to taste the town and get my hands on Virginia’s produce and wines!
How long have you been working with Big City Chefs?
