Kitchen Operations Chef
Passion for food has been at the core of my journey since the day I set foot in Baltimore, leaving behind my hometown of Washington, DC, to pursue a culinary education at the age of 18 in 1993. That spark ignited in me has burned brightly ever since.
My culinary voyage began during my time at culinary school when I secured an internship at the prestigious Harbor Court Hotel, a five-star establishment. Within two short years, I was not only hired but also promoted to the role of Chef De Cuisine, a testament to my dedication and skills.
Seeking to expand my culinary horizons, I embarked on a journey to Ireland to immerse myself in their rich culinary traditions and broaden my culinary repertoire. Upon my return, I took the reins at Sacha’s catering company, where I managed the Café and Silver Sac Delivery Service, adding another layer of experience to my culinary resume.
During my career, I ventured into the world of retirement communities, working with renowned establishments like Brightview and Sunrise Senior Living for a decade. Now, I find myself back where it all began, in the world of catering.
My culinary philosophy revolves around creativity with flavors and an appreciation for diverse ethnic cuisines. What I cherish most about my profession is the privilege of being a part of life’s most cherished moments and significant events. I find immense joy in creating dishes that reflect my passion, and I take pride in the fact that it’s evident in every bite.
Cooking isn’t just what I do; it’s who I am. I am deeply passionate about my craft, and I am excited to share my love for food and culinary artistry with you, adding a touch of magic to every event and occasion.
