I graduated from Baltimore International College with my culinary degree, and I have been in the food industry as a professional for over 20 years. I have been teaching for almost 11 years now, both to home cooks and to future culinary professionals. I am a mentor in the City of Baltimore and have taught at recreational schools, Culinary Schools, and at my alma mater, Baltimore City College. I teach in-home and on Zoom. I have cooked in both restaurants in our busy Baltimore Inner Harbor and catering companies. I have also been the Assistant Executive Chef of country clubs, and retirement and health care communities. I have run recreational cooking programs, and regularly do private chef work. I have supervised over 15 people at a time in a professional kitchen environment. Cooking is not difficult, and with proper guidance and encouragement, can be an amazing experience!


I earned my Associate's degree in Professional Cooking and Baking from Baltimore International College. I also have a current ServSafe certificate. I have worked as a chef, culinary instructor, cook, and caterer. I currently teach and offer private in-home fine dining lessons. I am currently teaching online cooking classes.


I am passionate about giving back to the community and volunteering whenever possible. I cook for the homeless once a month along with my teenage son and the help of various volunteers. I am a mentor at my alma mater teaching young people the value in culinary arts and health eating. During the pandemic I taught on Zoom. I have been teaching kids for 8-10 years. I hope to inspire your kids to enjoy cooking as much as I have inspired others. I have worked as a chef, culinary instructor, cook, and caterer. I want people to understand that even if you're not in a professional kitchen, you can still produce high quality impressive dishes from the comfort of your home. Food connects us all. It a life source and in some cases a love language. Teaching allows me to create a fun but very informative environment where people can create expressive art, regardless of age or skill. I welcome ages 8-18 and all skill levels to attend my cooking classes and learn what it takes to be a chef or to become passionate about cooking. No one gets left behind in my classes. Everyone learns differently so I make sure I can give everyone individual attention and feedback. But most importantly I want my students to join my classes to have fun and learn skills they will always remember from a trained professional chef. Aside from food, I am an avid reader, I love all things black history, and I have 2 dogs (Courage and Cardi) and 2 cats( Apple an Scallop) who I love very dearly. I even cook dog food for my little wolfers :) My number one goal is to travel around the world to historical places and learn more about cuisines. Hope you guys can join me!
