I create inclusive, chef-led dining through my TRY Experience™—so plant-based, vegetarian, and traditional eaters feel equally cared for at the same table.

I design intentional, inclusive meals that keep everyone connected—without compromising flavor or comfort.

I’m a nationally experienced private chef and nutrition consultant based in the Phoenix area, and I bring my TRY Experience™ to every table I serve. I build menus that flex seamlessly across preferences so no one has to “pick a diet” to feel included.

My work across diverse regions and high-visibility culinary environments shaped how I cook for many audiences with care and clarity. Today I serve Phoenix-area clients through curated in-home dining, weekly meal programs, and interactive cooking experiences that help people connect across lifestyles and ways of eating.

I’d love to cook for you
