I’m a culinary-trained chef, restaurant owner, content creator, and proud mom of three, based in New York City. My journey started in the kitchen, but it quickly grew into something much bigger—a brand rooted in family, culture, and the love of bringing people together through food.|

As a Dominican-American chef, my cooking is deeply inspired by my roots. I create dishes that feel like home—bold, flavorful, and made with intention. Whether I’m sharing a quick weeknight recipe, teaching students in NYC schools, or serving guests at my restaurant, my goal is always the same: to make food that connects people.

I’m the owner of Chef Rose Restaurant in the Bronx, where we serve up Caribbean-inspired dishes with heart and authenticity. Beyond the restaurant, I’ve built a community across social media, where I share recipes, family moments, and real-life experiences as a mom balancing business and passion.

My family is at the center of everything I do. You’ll often see my husband Nick and my kids—Hailee, Chase, and Autumn—right alongside me, whether we’re cooking, traveling, or just enjoying life together. They are my biggest inspiration and the reason I push myself to keep growing.

Through my platform, I’ve partnered with brands I truly believe in, taught cooking classes across NYC, and continue to build a space where food, culture, and family come together.

This is more than just recipes—it’s a lifestyle, a story, and a legacy I’m building for my family and my community.
