Welcome to Everyday Alchemy

Cooking has become my way of creating balance—nourishing both body and soul. As a chef and healthy lifestyle advocate, I believe food is one of the most powerful ways to cultivate wellness and joy.

I earned my Culinary Arts degree from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, and began my career training in some of Atlanta’s top five-star restaurants. From there, I transitioned into restaurant management, gaining a deeper understanding of the industry. While I loved the fast-paced world of professional kitchens, I found my true calling as a personal chef—where I could connect one-on-one with clients and help them achieve lasting wellness through food.

Beyond the kitchen, I’m committed to creating positive change in our communities. As the co-chair of the Atlanta Chapter of Slow Foods International, I work to promote sustainable, accessible, and wholesome food for all. I also support other incredible organizations, including World Central Kitchen, Wholesome Wave, and the Atlanta Community Food Bank—each working to improve food security and equity.

I find inspiration everywhere—whether I’m reading a great book, going for a run, or spending time with friends. I also love swimming, yoga, and traveling. I believe every day is a fresh start, and I’m passionate about helping others make the most of their opportunities.

Curious about what inspired me to start Everyday Alchemy? My personal health and wellness journey played a big role—read my story here to learn more.

We hope you enjoy your time on the site. Thanks for stopping by!
