I am a quiet, calm person, I like to keep my workspace very clean and organized. I have experience working in medical and as a personal cook and personal trainer; I hold a black belt in Goju Ryu karate, and I am presently a full time Chemistry student. I am interested in always improving my skills; I am well versed in the works of Sandor Katz and as such have some experience with fermentation and bread making (I make a mean challah). It should be noted by employers that I am autistic and as such, I appreciate clear communication so I am able to work to the best of my ability. LGBTQIA+ folks, those with chronic illnesses, and those dealing with disability will always have a safe space with me. I have been a home cook for many years, I'm adaptable with what I am able to make, and willing to learn the things I haven't before. I have experience cooking omnivore diets, vegan, vegetarian, and low histamine, and my background working in medical has given me insight on specialized diets (including weight gain and weight loss diets). I am also experienced in cooking with cannabis for those dealing with chronic pain, PTSD, and anxiety disorders.

*UNABLE TO TAKE CLIENTS FOR MAY* I’m 31 years old, and originally from Vancouver, BC. I moved to Montreal for university when I was 19 and it’s been home ever since. I was drawn to the city because of its vibrant music scene, which I quickly became a part of playing in many bands throughout my 20’s. After graduating from Concordia, I worked at a health food co-op for 6 years. Working in a space like that I became very passionate about healthy food and food access, which inspired me to take year long urban agriculture course through Concordia. Shortly after I finished my program, my dad got a 4th prostate cancer stage diagnosis. I spent the next year focussing on getting my drivers license so I could drive out to BC with my dog Pinky, and look after him. I lived with him in a rental where I helped with meals and day to day tasks, errands, and doctors appointments. He passed away 9 months later. Since then, I worked on an organic vegetable farm for one and a half seasons, as well as at Canada post as a letter carrier for 6 months. I am a hard worker and I love working with people, but I am looking for something where I am also able to use my creative side. Cooking has always been my love language. I cared for both my parents through their terminal illnesses, and food was always the highlight of our days together. I was lucky because when my mom was sick when I was 17, and when my father was sick it was during the beginning of covid. This meant much of my days were spent planning out how exactly to make each meal more nutritious and delicious than the last. Also my experience in both health food and agriculture gives me a keen sense of what would make a balanced and nutritious meal plan. Currently I do meal prep at clients homes, as well as meal prep at my own. I can follow specific recipes, or I can create meal plans for you based on your wants and wishes. The latter would typically involve me creating a plan for the week, getting your approval, doing the grocery shop, and prepping the meals/central elements. Depending on the volume of food, this could be anywhere between 4-6 hours of work per week. However I'm happy to find a way to work with your budget. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask! *Mapaq certified I've worked on and off in kitchens since I was about 18. Firstly as a dishwasher, then moving on to prep work at De Farine Et D'Eau Fraiche in the village. Last spring I worked as a prep cook at Bonnie Day, a restaurant in Winnipeg, when I was out there visiting with Family for a few months.
