Organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. Having worked extensively for high profile television productions such as The Voice, Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares and Kitchen Takeover demonstrate my ability to work under stressful conditions while achieving incredible projects. I recently move to Portland from Los Angeles, CA and have been affected by the recent writers/actors strike and currently looking for opportunities in the food and event industry. I am also a passionate cook, a lover of food and hospitality.
My love for cooking stems from the joy of creating something unique as well as comforting. I love the science behind experimenting with flavors and methods. Nurturing others through food and the calming routine it offers amidst life's chaos really helped me manage the pandemic. As passionate amateur, my knowledge of food has expanded tremendously since working as a cook and baker in the 1990's. I often dream of opening my own place called "Thirst and Sea", specializing in tinned fish and oysters. The community surrounding food with others is like nothing else.
