Helping organizations create food experiences that nourish, connect, and inspire.
As a Certified Executive Chef, Registered Dietitian, and Master of Public Health, I help hospitality concepts, wellness organizations, retreat hosts, and private clients create meaningful food experiences that are nourishing, engaging, and operationally sound.
My background spans culinary leadership, nutrition science, hospitality operations, and education. From leading large-scale foodservice operations and opening hospitality concepts to developing award-winning culinary nutrition initiatives, I have spent more than 20 years helping organizations transform ideas into thoughtful, well-executed food experiences. That perspective informs every consulting engagement, workshop, and curated culinary experience I create.
I believe food is more than physical nourishment. It carries memory, shapes identity, and reflects the stories, traditions, and experiences that influence how we eat. Rooted in my Southeast Asian heritage and guided by a food-first philosophy, my work creates experiences that foster connection, support well-being, and inspire curiosity.
