I am a musician, artist, life coach, and entrepreneur. I am passionate about yoga, the arts, communication, and creative expression of all kinds. I also own and run a small business called Spellbound Botanicals, where I create plant-based skin, bath, and body self-care products. I am currently getting ready for the holidays, making lots of products for gifts, events, and Christmas markets. I am also studying holistic nutrition online. I love all things health and wellness! Overall, I am a kind, friendly, and mindful human. I have been told I have a bubbly personality many times. My friends consider me the "safe" friend, as I have a lot of compassion, empathy, and wisdom. I tend to spend most of my time alone, working on my goals and creative pursuits. I value detail, clear communication, organization, and keeping things in order. My career goal is to become a professional holistic health coach! I have worked as a meal prepper, personal cook, and housekeeper for families and single working professionals who don't have time to make meals for their busy schedules. I also cook nutritious meals for my own family regularly. I have a passion for cooking and being creative with food, always keeping in mind to use healthy and whole ingredients while keeping my workspace clean and organized. I have performed duties such as prepping meals for a whole week, grocery shopping, building menus for a family with specific dietary needs, preparing nightly dinners and daily lunches, and keeping things organized and accessible so food is available to grab and go. I am responsible and adaptable, a great communicator who listens well. I know how to cook a variety of different meals and snacks that are healthy and delicious. I believe that eating a rainbow of nutrients in our dishes is important for us to thrive. Just let me know what the requirements are, and I should be able to adapt just fine! 🙂

Being in Vancouver, BC, a multicultural city rich in culinary options, she has ample exposure to a variety of foods that continues to fuel her passion.

My name is Judith and I have spent the entirety of my 25 years passionately dedicated to the culinary world. Majority of my adult life, specifically, has been devoted to professional kitchen work where I've honed my skills and gained substantial experience over the course of time. Those years nurtured my expertise particularly in areas like baking and crafting authentic Mexican dishes. My culinary repertoire extends from baking a concoction of mouthwatering pastries to whipping up an array of delectable Mexican meals. Having worked in varied kitchen settings, I have developed an adaptable culinary style that can juggle among different patillos to accommodate the unique palette of every individual. I pride myself in the ability to curate a personalized food experience, shaped by each person's distinct taste preference. I do want to express transparency on an important matter - English is a language I am still learning. My proficiency level might not be outstanding yet, however, in my experience, this has never been a hindrance in performing my tasks. I assure you that despite this, I am able to effectively communicate in a way that has never impeded in the quality of my work. Above all, I would like to emphasize on my core work values: honesty, integrity, and accountability. These principles are deeply ingrained in how I carry out my duties, making certain they translate to the work I do. I would, at all times, uphold truthfulness to the best of my ability. I hold myself liable for my work actions and decisions, and always, I am driven by the desire to provide the highest degree of professional integrity in every situation I am faced with in this culinary journey. I have experience in cooking since in Mexico I work in restaurants.
