Chef Biography

My passion for cooking began as a child spending time in the kitchen with my parents and my Sicilian grandmother. While other children were watching Sesame Street, I was watching the greats Julia Child and Graham Kerr.

After a lifetime of cooking, baking, and catering for events, friends, and family; I decided to start my own Personal Chef Service.  In August 2005, I completed the Culinary Business Academy’s Personal Chef training program. I am also a member of the United States Personal Chef’s Association. My culinary education does not stop there; I have also completed classes at the California Culinary Academy, in the Weekend Gourmet Program in San Francisco and locally in the Professional Chef Program at the New School of Cooking in Culver City.

Today, I work hard to create meals for my clients with all the love and attention I give the meals I prepare for my own friends and family.

I grew up in Maryland, earned my Bachelors of Science in Psychology from High Point University, in North Carolina, and my Masters of Arts in Education, from Virginia Tech, in Virginia. I live in Hermosa Beach, California and serve clients in the South Bay and surrounding communities.
