I never thought I would own a restaurant or a catering company, especially since I tried to stay away from my fathers company most of my life but during one summer in college I realized I had a fond admiration for events. I sold a couple of events that summer and eventually I immersed myself, learning the ins and outs of the industry and quickly began trying to network and manage select clients. Eventually I began to work with all types of people in Hollywood’s nightlife, catering all types of events at any given notice, and my willingness to work long nights and early mornings catapulted me to reach minor success. This was my breakthrough and thus one client became two and so on and so forth. Although I don’t have the fancy degrees and celebrity chef reputation I let our work speak for ourselves. I know were capable of creating amazing food and even more amazing memories.

After a while I transitioned to sales, I managed clients and orchestrated events across Los Angeles regularly. However the allure of traveling and taking on a new experience was calling for me, the idea of stepping away from the family business seemed like it was well over due. At 25 I moved to Austin, TX, working in door-to-door sales for BRINKS and Skyline Security. Over two years, I sold 300+ accounts and recruited and led a team to over 1,000 accounts, refining my sales and managing skills and connecting with people nationwide.

Feeling enriched and invigorated, I turned a new chapter by returning to Los Angeles. Together with my father, we founded ENJOY, a venture born from a shared passion for creating exceptional experiences and serving authentic dishes made from our culture and recipes we have grown to love over the years. Today, I am proud to lead a company built on resilience, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to stay creative and enjoy experimenting in the kitchen and out of the kitchen.
