I grew up on a farm, raising chickens, ducks, geese, goats, cattle. We had a huge garden, so I grew up shelling peas and weeding doing chores. I swore I would never do these tasks as an adult, but unexpectedly got bit by the gardening bug. Soon the joy of garden fresh lettuce and tomatoes followed. I developed an intolerance to gluten later in life, but ĺove baking bread and croissants and pizzas- my specialty for SCO, the organization I cooked for since 2022. I was vegan for a few years, and have reverted to flexitarian, but enjoy cooking healthful, delicious foods in those categories, mostly plant-based. I also cook meat dishes for my senior parents. All these experiences and changes have evolved my palate. What has not changed is a love of good home cooking. No paid experience cooking, but years of volunteer cooking for seniors, and with a homeless outreach organization preparing ready-to-eat frozen meals. I taught Culinary Arts in a high school. I am food safety and sanitation aware. I keep a clean and organized workspace.

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.
