About Cassiopeia
My culinary journey has a humble beginning.
Starting as a dishwasher at 15 in a small cafe in a tiny town in Texas, gradually working my way up to Sous Chef by 17.
I worked in regenerative agriculture while continuing my education at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Academy and then gaining my BA at the University of Texas Austin in Health Science. The precision of the craft enticed me, leading me to work with top-tier chefs in excellent restaurants and luxury hotels.
My background allows me to teach both classical and modern technique, sustainable cooking practices with clarity and confidence. I am reliable and highly attentive to each student’s individual learning style, ensuring that every lesson is both structured and enjoyable. I take pride in maintaining a professional, organized teaching environment while creating a space where students feel comfortable asking questions, and making mistakes. As my high school art teacher used to say "there are no mistakes in art just different kinds of art" - Sharon Kozad

My approach to teaching is rooted in making cooking feel intuitive and deeply connected to the ingredients themselves. Drawing from my school training, as well as my experience working on regenerative farms, as well as my work with Michelin-rated chefs and restaurants. I guide students to understand not just how to cook, but why techniques work—so they can confidently create on their own.
A typical lesson begins with a short overview of the ingredients and their seasonality, followed by hands-on preparation where we focus on foundational techniques such as knife skills, flavor balancing, and proper cooking methods. I like to incorporate flexibility into each session, allowing space for creativity, questions, and adapting recipes to what’s available locally or in your kitchen.
What sets me apart is my emphasis on farm-to-table cooking, sustainability, plant-forward meals, animal understanding, along with teaching students how to work with whole, fresh ingredients rather than relying on processed foods. I also focus on helping students build confidence and a personal relationship with cooking, rather than just following recipes, something go call "cooking intuition".
My lessons are open to all levels—from complete beginners who want to feel comfortable in the kitchen, to more experienced home cooks looking to refine their skills, explore seasonal cooking, or how to take simple ingredients and elevate.
