I am a Culinary Artist, professionally trained at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York. A proud South Florida native, my culinary style is deeply influenced by my West African, French, and Caribbean heritage. With over 15 years of experience in the culinary industry, I’ve traveled the world refining my skills and mastering a wide range of global cuisines and techniques.
I’ve had the privilege of working in several notable kitchens, including Chef Marcus Samuelsson's iconic Red Rooster in Harlem, as well as playing a key role in opening its Miami counterpart, Red Rooster Overtown.
Today, I passionately operate a luxury personal chef and catering business that brings the refined experience of a 5-star restaurant into private homes, yachts, and jets—at competitive pricing. I specialize in creating custom menus tailored to individual tastes and dietary needs, ensuring every client receives a truly memorable culinary experience. You have my full assurance that your expectations will not only be met but exceeded.
My clientele includes a number of high-profile individuals such as NFL player Chase Young, German rapper JuJu, Triller app entrepreneur Shah, actress/model Karrueche Tran, and rapper Remy Ma, as well as music industry legends Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, and 2 Chainz. I have also worked with other notable figures whose names I am unable to disclose due to strict privacy agreements and NDAs.
