I am a graduate of Scottsdale Culinary Institute, Scottsdale, Arizona, class of 2000.

Two weeks before class started the school became a Le Cordon Bleu North American affiliate. Our class was the first to go thru the training. We were told that we would all get the same training. But, if we wanted to get the certificate on our diploma we would have to pay an additional $2400. My funding was already finalized. Therefore, I received the Le Cordon Bleu training without the certificate.

I identify as a Christian Woman of African Decent.

Since a lot of my family had been diagnosed with diabetes, when I first embarked on this journey of eating clean, I aimed to teach people how to maintain a healthy diet while living with diabetes. God told me to teach the cure, not the disease.

I love baking. When I lived in Cleveland, Ohio, I worked for two different Owner Operated Bakeries, and learned the cost of every cookie burned. Those were some great experiences.

I have also worked for corporate owned chain restaurants, grocery store deli’s and a country club.

In 2018 I decided to write and self publish my own cookbook.
