About me
My journey with the culinary arts began when I was 16 years old. I was about two years into a Lupus diagnosis and going on four years of living with Hashimoto’s. At the time of my Lupus diagnosis, I was on more medication than I could count. I was even taking medications to help with the side effects of my other medication. It was a lot for a teenager to handle. I began looking for holistic ways of coping with my conditions and “raw vegan” was a popular path for many Lupus patients. I began my plant-based journey in 2015 and it opened a world of knowledge and creativity for me. There were not nearly as many vegan or plant-based options available in 2015 so learning to make my own “cheeses” and meat-like proteins felt like science. Figuring out what ingredients create what textures and flavors, I felt like a chemist in the kitchen. Thus began my dream of going to culinary school. I was so fortunate to take part in the first Natural Gourmet Center – Health Supportive program at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City. I started the program in 2019 and finished amongst the pandemic in the summer of 2020. Now, I’m here to teach YOU all the things I know about food. So please join me, I can’t wait to cook with you!
