Chef, Small Business Owner, and Mother in Boise, Idaho
For over two decades, I’ve woven a career at the intersection of culinary artistry, hospitality, and operations. My journey began as a personal chef, evolved through managing a remote Alaskan fly fishing lodge, and reached new heights crafting bespoke experiences in the Hollywood Hills. Each chapter has deepened my passion for creating moments of connection through food, service, and story.
In the kitchen, I’ve designed meals that celebrate culture, seasonality, and soul. My approach is rooted in the belief that food is a living language—one that speaks of tradition, care, and creativity. This philosophy lives on in Olive & Pearl, my culinary and lifestyle brand inspired by generations of women in my family, where I offer personal chef services, curated events, and seasonal menu planning.
More recently, I served as the Director of Operations at Christian and Company in Boise, where I managed the intricate behind-the-scenes systems that support a high-volume real estate team. Prior to that, I was the Chief Operating Officer at Tower60 Real Estate Group and Executive Director of its nonprofit foundation. These roles sharpened my expertise in operational strategy, team leadership, client experience, and community engagement.
Now, I’m channeling this experience into a new chapter—where culinary innovation meets seamless execution. Whether managing the day-to-day flow of a business or designing unforgettable dining experiences, I bring the same core values: passion, precision, and people-first thinking.
I believe the most important thing in life is passion—and mine has always centered around creating meaningful, memorable experiences that nourish both body and spirit.
