A little life Update (from Insta, but now YT!)👨🏻‍🍳😌:
I’m happy to share that I’ve accepted a very generous job offer from Freshly, inc in Maryland. Starting In March, I will be one of their R&D Chefs and have an added role as a Content Manager. The future of the culinary industry (post covid) is transitioning increasingly to cooking/eating at home. Food media’s importance is only growing. So I’m thrilled to learn more about the prepared meal section of the food world. With Freshly, I will help create delicious, healthy recipes for the company’s weekly menus that customers can enjoy safely at home. We will also create lots of fun new social food content (photos/videos) for Freshly’s fans.

For the past 2 years, since my last full-time job at the wonderful BuzzFeed Tasty, I’ve been so lucky to freelance remotely when possible, be super creative, and try tons of new challenging opportunities. I created my own show Dinnerviews, I produced content for local restaurants/food businesses and for larger companies like Jikoni, Viacom/MTV, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Juni Learning, and Allrecipes. I also was able to finally finish a HUGE passion project that is coming VERY soon. 👀👀👀

I am so appreciative of all the lessons I’ve learned and the experience I’ve gained.

However, these past 2 years have also been incredibly painful and difficult in my own private personal life for a multitude of health/family reasons. And DUH the entire world was a mess because of the pandemic, radicals, and our government. So, I just wanted to point out that life isn’t always sunshine, and you learn the most from your biggest mistakes and failures 😔. Being artistically creative truly is the greatest gift life grants to save us from dark times.

I’m very grateful to my family for being there during my roughest patches, for my lovely friends who always check in on me, and for you all for the support and laughs.

I’m excited for this next chapter of life and I’m thrilled to keep creating art to share with you all. Thank you for believing in me, my work, and my passions. 😌

Also, for my YouTube fam, Dinnerviews can't resume until after covid is completely gone, but I have a great new project to share with you all next week!
