Why I became a chef: I have always been drawn to art and expressing myself creatively. I started experimenting with food at a young age and quickly fell in love with testing new flavor combinations and foods I had never seen or heard of before. Now, I love to share food experiences with those around me and how much the culinary world is constantly developing.

My greatest inspiration: Grant Achatz. The way he manipulates food and creates things you’ve never seen before is incredible. He’s challenging the norms of the culinary world and I’m loving every second of it.

What I like best about my job: I love the collaboration between myself and the rest of the culinary team. Bouncing ideas off each other and always learning and growing together and then sharing those ideas with the rest of our Waypoint team.
