Experience

I am extremely health conscious and have that at the forefront of my mind while recommending products. While it's great to indulge in things that may not be the best for us, I do believe it's important to impart knowledge on products that will bring good value to someone's life as well as the environment.

Highlights:

Handled an entire course while working at Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Worked under multitalented chefs in many kitchens of different cuisines at the Ritz-Carlton, Dubai.
Was part of a two-person team in a high volume kitchen at Today Show, ensuring the perfect execution of all food segments.
