My passion for hospitality began the my moment mom taught me how to prepare my first dish: macaroni & cheese; a Bahamian favorite!
Ever since then I have been on the hunt, equipping myself with the tools to create a perfect fusion of the Bahamian cultural experience and the products they bring.
Seeing the joy and wonder I give our tourists when I share my Caribay Cuisine Bahamian story.
Needless to say, after many career moves in the commercial restaurant scene in management and corporate, I am ready to provide excellent service to the world thru Caribay Cuisine!
