For the most part, I have worked as a server in the bar/restaurant industry. Lately, I've started to invest more time into my career as an artisan, which means I have been looking for new avenues that allow me more time in the studio and less late nights working. I have always loved cooking, cleaning and organising in the home, I even took courses for professional home organising as a service. My ideal client is someone that leads a busy life and needs a hand when it comes to setting up their week for ease and success. What I propose is to come in once or twice a week to prepare meals for the week, do a quick tidy of your living space, maybe throw in some laundry and just generally make your home easier to relax in.

As part of my training working in restaurants, I completed yearly food safety trainings. I have been cooking since I was little, taught by my mother who glances at any recipe and somehow makes it better every time. Living in international student housing growing up, we collected recipes from all of our neighbours from around the world. We spent so much time in the kitchen together, cooking up a storm for neighbourhood potlucks, family dinners, birthdays etc. Nowadays, I love cooking for my friends and trying my hand at their favourite dishes. For myself, I have fun finding healthier versions of dishes, sneaking in nutrient rich ingredients into comfort food.

Private/personal cook

I’m a professional cook with experience in high-pressure restaurant kitchens, remote camp environments, and private, home-based cooking. I previously worked as an assistant manager at a Japanese fusion restaurant, where I supported daily operations, upheld standards, and worked closely with both kitchen and front-of-house staff. I cook confidently across cuisines, from Mediterranean staples like hummus made from scratch, to refined French pastries such as Paris-Brest, to Italian classics like handmade gnocchi. I’m equally attentive to simplicity. Whether it is a perfectly cooked steak or a nourishing everyday meal, I bring the same care and consistency. Alongside my culinary work, I am currently studying kinesitherapy and massage therapy and am aspiring to continue my education in recreational therapy and psychology. This background informs the way I cook and work with people, as I am attentive to comfort, routine, and individual needs. I am also actively improving my French and can communicate at a basic to intermediate level, with a strong commitment to continued learning. Outside of work, I am a painter, musician, and writer, which reflects my creativity, discipline, and sensitivity. These qualities translate into thoughtful, dependable care. Employers often appreciate my discretion, calm presence, and reliability as well as the respect I bring to people’s homes and daily routines. I’m a professional cook with experience in restaurant kitchens, remote camp environments, and private home cooking. I have worked as an assistant manager at a Japanese fusion restaurant and am confident cooking across cuisines, from Mediterranean and Italian to refined French pastry, while giving equal care to simple, well-executed meals.
