Growing up in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood poised me to go out into the world, confident and strong with a will to succeed at whatever I do because I came in this world with nothing to lose. I grew up with a family that loved, nurtured, and believed in me; and I was allowed the space to grow freely but also provided with the discipline and structure to keep me safe with fundamental grounding. Food was at the center of many of my favorite childhood memories, and from a young age I always knew I was grow into the food industry.

 

I have been blessed in life to have many people- family, friends, mentors, and influential persons- impact my life by providing insight, support, guidance, love and lessons along the way. I studied Baking and Pastry at Madison Park High School, Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management at Southern New Hampshire University and got my start working in some of Boston's best kitchens under the direction of some of the most amazing chefs with experience ranging from small neighborhood gems like Ashmont Grill to large conglomerates like Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center and many in between. 

​

For years, I have been building, growing, learning, rising and striving in the food industry. I have been well known for building and growing a popular Boston food truck, restaurant and catering company, Jamaica Mi Hungry. 

​

One of my greatest joys along the way has been my ability to serve in a helpful role to those seeking inspiration, help, advice on getting started or scaling their food businesses, and encouraging others to see & have a larger vision for themselves.

​

After giving birth to my daughter, falling in love with being a mommy, and taking a step back from the hustle and grind that come along with running food trucks and restaurants- I finally decided to own that role of being of service to those looking for guidance and growth opportunities and be intentional about it. I started working directly with youth, entrepreneurs and those aspiring thereto sharing my knowledge, skills, and passion for upward movement. I began with a mission to give others a taste of the lessons that have guided me, and it's growing from there!
