"I've always been some sort of hustler. In 2017, I got my degree in broadcasting and moved to Los Angeles shortly after to pursue a career in entertainment. I worked all kinds of jobs, but I knew that I've always wanted to be my own boss and have creative freedom in my work. Now, I'm a private chef on charter yachts, and I wake up excited to create menus and dishes."
"Many of my clients are high up in their fields, but my favorite part is connecting with families and making dishes they love. When I'm in the galley looking out at the Bahamas waters, I can't believe I get to do this. Here's my unlikely career path - from working in entertainment to social media - and how it all tied together in building my own business."
