I’m most excited to showcase the outcome of some techniques I’ve used to process fresh fruits both local and homegrown in some of my recent projects. Taking the fresh approach has improved the quality of my projects and the happiness of my consumers. I hope my advances are noticeable to my viewers and to the people who are able to enjoy my food.
My main objective with my portfolio is to broadcast everything I’ve created over the years in order to showcase just how far I’ve advanced and how much I’m still growing as a baker.I am always hoping to try new techniques to further my career and I look forward to working with a pastry team in the future!
