Coastal roots. Classic technique. Elevated home cooking.

Meet the Chef

I’m a New England–born private chef specializing in elevated home cooking that feels comforting, fresh, and deeply personal. With roots in coastal cuisine and a strong foundation in French technique, I bring restaurant-quality food into the warmth of your home.

Before setting down roots in LA, I spent three years in Chicago honing my craft as a Personal Chef at Girl And The Kitchen. I have extensive experience in menu planning and meal prep for all lifestyles, having cooked for families with children, professional athletes, and high-net-worth individuals. I’m skilled in tailoring menus to a wide range of dietary needs and preferences, including keto, paleo, vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free diets, as well as accommodating specific allergies. I take pride in creating meals that are not only safe and nourishing but also flavorful and satisfying for every guest at the table.

My approach is simple: high-quality ingredients, thoughtful technique, and meals that make people feel cared for.

In addition to my work as a Chef, I’m a seasoned food content creator with a degree in film. I’ve collaborated with clients such as Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street, Fulton Fish Market, and Purple Carrot, producing engaging content that brings food to life on screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas do you serve?

I provide private chef services throughout Hollywood, West Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, and surrounding neighborhoods within approximately a 10 mile radius.

Do you cook in my home, or do you deliver?

I can do either! Some clients prefer to have everything done in their own kitchen, while some prefer I cook out of my own kitchen and deliver. I'm happy to work with you to figure out which approach works best for your needs.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is based on the type of service, number of guests, and time required. Ingredient costs are additional and billed based on the menu selected. Please see the "Services" section for more information.

Where do you grocery shop?

Wherever you'd like! I often shop at Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Gelsons, or even the farmers market. I'm committed to sourcing the very best ingredients for my clients, and am happy to work with you to determine a specific grocery budget.

I focus on high-quality, fresh ingredients. I use seasonal produce, aromatic herbs and spices, and heart-healthy fats to make every meal both nourishing and delicious.

How do I get started?

I always start with an initial consultation! Please see the section below to understand what each consultation encompasses and how to schedule yours.

Let's Get Started!

I work with you to understand your dietary needs, flavor preferences, and any ingredients you need to avoid. You’re welcome to share your favorite dishes—or even family recipes—and I can recreate them just for you.

If you’d like to leave the planning to me, I’ll craft weekly menus full of fresh, vibrant meals based on what you enjoy. Your feedback is always welcome: dishes you don’t love won’t appear again, and the ones you adore can become regular favorites.

Please reach out via phone or email and we'll get the ball rolling. I can't wait to work with you!
