A Brief Bio.

With a lifetime spent in the food industry as the daughter of restaurateurs, a driven culinary competitor, and an on-air personality, I bring to the table a unique combination of culinary knowledge and charisma, backed by over 30 years of experience in the film and television industry. My background in multimedia and graphic design also enables me to utilize plating as my canvas and execute creative visions from start to finish.
