I’m a Seattle-based chef known for seasonally inspired and thoughtfully composed meals. My cooking blends global influences with a nod to my Eastern European roots (thanks mom & dad!) and an emphasis on clean flavors.

After beginning my career in Ohio and traveling abroad to expand my skills, I relocated to the Pacific Northwest, where the incredible seasonal ingredients continually inspire my cooking. The simplest and freshest ingredients, treated with care, speak the loudest!

When I’m not cooking, you might find me strolling through farmer’s markets, rewatching Vivre Sa Vie, camping in the Cascades, or sketching new recipes over a cup of coffee!
