How did you get started doing this type of work?

After numerous years of unsatisfying job experiences, I decided to pursue my passion for cooking & creating personalized menus as well as event management; it's been nonstop busy ever since and I do not look back! I couldn't imagine returning to a 9-5 and I absolutely love being my own boss. I also love that I work for my customers, always able to put my customers first!

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

A bridal shower for a couple in Berkeley. Everything was delicious and beautiful. It took me a day of prep and cooking to execute. The guests were raving about the food and I was asked to cater their friend’s 50th birthday party!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Pay attention to response time, the use of proper grammar, and overall professionalism! If correspondence is sloppy, the food may be too.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

My food is my art and I am quite the perfectionist. I aim to please and take great pride in positive, glowing & constructive customer feedback!
