I'm a 23-year-old professional cook with a deep love for creativity, curiosity, and adventure. At heart, I’m like a playful nine-year-old—always eager to learn, try new things, and find joy in everyday moments. I’m nurturing, encouraging, and take pride in creating a sweet, safe, and peaceful home. Staying connected to my inner child is important to me, and I support that connection through meditation, yoga, and regular exercise. I’ve been caring for children since my little brothers were in diapers, eventually working as a nanny and home-keeper from age 19 to 22, before diving more seriously into the culinary world. While cooking is my passion, caring for kids remains one of my greatest joys—something I plan to keep close in my life until I one day have children of my own.

I have lived in Ellensburg for the past 11 years as I originally came over for college. After I graduated, my wife and I decided to stay in the area and we are both teaching during the school year! I completed my masters program last year in secondary science education and have been a substitute between Ellensburg and Thorp School Districts. I am mainly looking for opportunities to tutor kids in either math or science this summer. Educating kids on biology, physics, math, or chemistry is something I am very passionate about as well as seeing students exceed academically!
