For almost three decades, I've built my career at the intersection of art and appetite. As an award-winning food stylist, author, chef, restaurateur, and creative director, I've learned that success in food media isn't just about talent—it's about understanding the landscape, building the right relationships, and positioning yourself strategically. 

I've stayed in the top tier of this industry because I never stopped evolving, learning, and helping others do the same. 

Now I’m sharing that journey with you.
