Growing up on a farm in rural Maryland, I developed a passion for fresh ingredients and scratch cooking at a young age. I vividly remember picking a burlap bag full of peaches and the dilemma that followed: Should these peaches be used for preserves, a cobbler… or should I just sit under the tree and eat them now?

Working at Great Performances affords me the opportunity to collaborate with some of the most creative, hardworking professionals in the food and beverage industry. Our team consistently amazes me with their ability to produce innovative dishes and create memorable experiences for our clients. What I am most proud of is Great Performances’ commitment to the local community, sustainable sourcing of ingredients, and our work with young children to establish healthy eating habits..
