About me
With over 17 years of experience in the restaurant and packaged goods industry, I am a culinary innovator deeply passionate about transforming ingredients into unforgettable experiences. My career highlights include a 13-year tenure as Chief Innovation Officer at Juice Press, where I spearheaded product development and innovation for an 88-store chain. While that chapter shaped my expertise in crafting unique culinary offerings, I’ve since embarked on a more personal journey—bringing my artistry directly to individuals as a private chef, curating meals and moments that truly resonate.
​
Rooted in my Mexican heritage and inspired by the vibrant flavors of Indian, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines, my culinary philosophy celebrates whole, plant-based foods. I specialize in creating exceptional dishes tailored to diverse dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free cuisine. My commitment to sustainability and quality drives me to source the freshest organic, locally-sourced, and ethically-raised ingredients, ensuring every meal is not only delicious but also mindful.
​
There’s nothing more fulfilling to me than crafting meals that bring joy, nourishment, and connection to those I serve. Whether it’s a dinner party with loved ones or a quiet evening at home, every dish I create is a reflection of my dedication to elevating the dining experience. Because, at the heart of it all, food is about so much more than flavor—it’s about bringing people together in the most meaningful and delicious ways.
