I have been cooking since I was 10 Years old! Cooking is definitely in my blood. My granny Martha was a butcher and she was the best cook! She was so good that my dad was a little chubby boy because he loved his mother's cooking so much!

I was homeschooled for around eight years and my mom was having a hard time teaching me math so a teacher told her to teach me how to cook and it worked! Really well!

I would cook for my family and I fell in love watching Emeril Lagasse on the Food Network! My dad was always making interesting things like fried eggplant and duck with orange sauce and tripe.

The first job I had was at Six Flags and I worked in the kitchen for 3 summers. I had a couple of jobs working in fast food as a teenager and I worked at the Olive garden for a few years.

I attended Sullivan University in Louisville Kentucky for Culinary Arts and I got to cook for the Kentucky Derby while I was there!

I started working at Bravo as a prep cook and I worked my way up to a line cook.

I began teaching cooking classes at Sur La Table, I went from working at a local Lebanese restaurant, Taza, to landing a job at Whole Foods as a cook.

I became vegan in January of 2016 due to health reasons. Damn Good Vegan was born in 2018. It paired my my two loves, cooking and helping others live healthier lifestyles.
