"I have been cooking for my family since the age of 10. My parents worked and I was the oldest of 4 kids. Over the years I began to realize that I had a very strong flair for creativity and understanding complex flavors. I watched a lot of cooking shows and would say that my favorite chef of all time is Julia Child. French cuisine is so difficult to master and she truly made it an art. I hope to always bring that much enthusiasm to this career."
