I’ve been in the service industry for over ten years and have always resonated with the spirit of hosting and giving. In 2019, I earned a Natural Chef certification from Bauman College in Berkeley, CA, which deepened my appreciation for holistic and sustainable food practices. Since moving to Sacramento in 2020, I’ve brought that philosophy into my cooking, managing and launching a daytime kitchen program in 2021. That experience led to the creation of Workaday, a daytime food offering that’s now part of Sacramento’s vibrant pop-up community. My cultural background and training in ingredient sourcing and mindful cooking shape both my menus and the way I serve. I’m passionate about making tasty, exciting meals that inspire people to be more conscious of what they consume, while find joy in doing so.
