Born and raised in a Puerto Rican-Moroccan household in Brooklyn, I was exposed to the power of food at an early age. My mom likes to say I learned how to cook scrambled eggs at the age of 3, which gives a glimpse into my love of cooking, and how well my parents shared their love of cooking with their children. Growing up in a vibrant and diverse community, I was exposed to different cultures and communities my entire childhood. Food was the gateway to learning more about the traditions that were so different, yet similar, to the ones I took part in. Stories, connections, and memories shared over home-cooked meals exposed me to the world- while spotlighting what made me feel good, inside and out. There is power in nourishing our bodies and I want to help others gain a sense of that power in the kitchen and at the table. I hope to share a glimpse into the meals that make me feel at home, safe, wherever I may be.

I'm a freelancer who lives in Brooklyn, and I have a lot of experience working on smaller and/or corporate video sets as a PA, AC, or any other support-type unit, as I get the most satisfaction out of working behind the scenes in various settings. I love doing whatever I can to help other people enact their visions or just help things go as smoothly and efficiently as possible. I've spent a lot of my life supporting and assisting people, whether it be on tv/film sets, in my church, or in my own home (my mom's a doctor with a lot on her plate), and I'm more than willing to do any job, big or small, that makes it easier for other people to better focus on their jobs. If I see someone that has a lot on their plate, I enjoy doing what I can to make that plate a little less stuffed for them. I aspire to make comfortable environments where people are free to be themselves and work to the best of their abilities without anything impeding them. Simply put, I'm a team player that loves to help other people succeed, and I'm willing to learn/do whatever it takes to help make that happen.
