My signature style is infusing bold Caribbean flavors and techniques into many different cuisines. I focus on creating unforgettable flavor, elevated presentation, and unique dining experiences rather than being known for just one dish.
Who is your culinary inspiration?I don’t have one specific culinary inspiration. I’m inspired by watching women continue to dominate and redefine the culinary industry with creativity, strength, and passion.
What would you do with the $25,000?With the $25,000, I would open my own supper club and creative event space focused on immersive dining and curated experiences. As a chef, mixologist, and creative, I bring food, decor, cocktails, and atmosphere together to create unforgettable moments. I also want to use the space to uplift my community by hosting pop-ups, featuring local artists and small businesses, and creating luxury experiences people may not normally have access to.
