About

With nearly a decade of leadership experience in artisan bread and viennoiserie, I’ve grown from a home baker to leading teams in both retail and wholesale bakery environments. Along the way, I’ve managed crews, scaled production, and helped build systems that support quality, consistency, and sustainable growth.

Today, I’m passionate about sharing practical growth strategies and helping artisan bakeries elevate both their product and their people. I work with artisan bakeries to build scalable systems, improve consistency, and develop strong teams—without losing the craft that defines their bread.

Highlights include:

  • Over 9 years as Executive Baker at Café Ficelle and Ficelle Artisan Bakery in Ventura, CA

  • Scaling Café Ficelle to four retail locations supported by a single production bakery

  • Teaching dozens of hands-on baking classes for home bakers

  • Participant with the United States baking team at the Fête du Pain in Paris, France (2018)

  • Three-week stage in the boulangerie at Terre Blanche Resort, France (2016)
