I bring 20+ years of Caribbean-inspired fine dining to your table

For over 20 years I’ve been carving up culinary masterpieces in the hotel and restaurant industry. I honed my craft at the world‑renowned five‑star Rosewood Little Dix Bay, working alongside great chefs. I hold a diploma in Hotel and Restaurant Management and I’m a Certified Culinarian (CC).

Driven by my love for creating lasting impressions, I launched my catering service so I can personally treat each guest to a private, customized meal.

Cooking is my passion. I live for it.

I live my passion for cooking

Cooking is my passion—I live for it. I pour that energy into every menu I design, focusing on fresh ingredients, vibrant Caribbean flavors, and meticulous execution.

I grew up in a restaurant

My mom had a restaurant, so I was basically raised in a restaurant. That early start led to more than two decades in professional kitchens—including time at Rosewood Little Dix Bay—where I refined my technique and hospitality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Mediterranean, Local, Seafood/Fish and Italian. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Family reunion and Friends gathering. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
