I am a sunshine filled soul from Southern California, but now call New York City my home. I am a graduate of both UC Berkeley (Go Bears!) and Le Cordon Bleu. My free spirit, passion, and honesty guide me through the world.

In my nearly 15 year career in hospitality I’ve had the pleasure of working for a long list of celebrity clients, working with huge brands for events, and even teaching cooking on a cruise ship. I’ve worked in nearly ever facet of the food industry and believe food is community and is the ultimate connector.

In the midst of growing my chef empire I had a baby and my world turned upside down. Realizing the lack of spaces for parents I started dreaming up KinHaven House in my postpartum haze. Parents are people too and we deserve a space in society where we don’t have to compromise, and I cannot wait to bring it to you!
