I'm a current student at the Art Center College Of Design in Pasadena pursuing a degree in film production. However, most of my background comes from the restaurant industry. Growing up, my father was a chef and then a restaurateur, and I spent a large portion of my childhood in kitchens, pantries, and walk-ins. This created a deep passion for the culinary arts, service, and hospitality for me, and I still spend a large portion on my time cooking and reading about food. On my own, I have been reading about the service industry and have been studying for the certified sommelier exam, which I plan to take as soon as I turn twenty one.
I started bussing and hosting at my family restaurant at the age of twelve.
I volunteered for the non profit MeWater Foundation for a year while filming a documentary about their attempt to give opportunities to disadvantaged children in the Bay Area
