House Manager. Personal Chef.

About me 

For over 20 years I’ve brought calm, beauty, and order to high-net-worth homes. Trained as a House Manager and Michelin-trained chef, I ensure homes run smoothly, meals are thoughtful, and details are handled quietly. My career began in Savannah (2002), continued in Washington, DC—training at L’Academie de Cuisine and cooking under Michel Richard at Citronelle—and includes fine-dining kitchens, private estates, international retreats, food styling, and a season at three-star Geranium in Copenhagen. I now provide full household management: coordinating vendors, overseeing projects, managing staff, and maintaining systems with discretion and steadiness.

“Preparation, structure, and follow-through are what make a home feel effortless.”

I start with awareness and lead from the top, keeping service smooth, events planned, and the home steady behind the scenes. Working as a chef sharpened my senses—I notice light, sound, timing, and flow that make a home work.

I evaluate a home like a kitchen: circulation, sightlines, comfort, readiness. Daily routines and long-term needs are one system. Service is discreet, not showy. Events are prepared, not improvised. Chauffeuring, turndown, flowers, and guest prep are handled quietly so living feels effortless.

Invitations, rentals, staffing, and execution follow clear timelines and calm oversight. Water, HVAC, preventive maintenance, and trusted vendors are managed proactively to fix issues early and avoid disruption.
