"As a chef, my passion has always been to craft unforgettable experiences that not only tantalize the taste buds but also nourish the soul. From the very beginning, I have believed in using the freshest ingredients, sourced locally whenever possible, to create dishes that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. But my work has never been just about the food—it has always been about the full experience.

What began in the back of house—leading pastry programs, curating menus, and commanding the details of fine dining—naturally expanded into something greater. I mastered the kitchen, but I also mastered the art of connection. My path has long since crossed the line between back of house and front of house, evolving into event strategy, high-level coordination, and brand partnerships. For years, I have acted as the liaison between restaurants, hotels, and clients—long before the title was written down.

Today, through Société du Jour, I stand as Scottsdale’s premier connector: building a mecca where clients gain not just a seat at the table but access to an entire world of restaurants, hotels, events, and luxury experiences. This is work I have already been doing—nurturing relationships, amplifying visibility, and curating opportunities that others are only beginning to imagine.

I don’t create experiences for the masses. I cultivate rare, highly tailored moments of access—introductions that shift possibilities, events that redefine standards, and partnerships that open doors normally kept closed. For my clients, exclusivity is not an upgrade, it is the expectation—and my role is to ensure every collaboration and every experience reflects that uncompromising level of excellence."*
