As long as I can remember. I grew up in Oak Park, spending weekends in the kitchen with my mom and siblings making cheesecakes from her recipes. Those early memories shaped not just my love of baking, but my dream of becoming a chef.
I’ve spent over a decade working as a professional pastry chef in Chicago at places like Smith & Wollensky, The University Club of Chicago, and Molly’s Cupcakes, where I eventually became the Executive Pastry Chef. Along the way, I’ve honed my craft, created countless recipes, and learned what makes a dessert truly memorable.
Sweet Sherry Pie is where I bring all of that experience together with a lot of heart. My bakery started as part of the Berwyn Shops, a community program supporting local entrepreneurs, and quickly grew into a place where people come not just for pie, but for a taste of nostalgia and connection.
I’ve been lucky enough to share my baking on programs like WGN and Fox Good Day Chicago, and I have so much more planned — from recipes, to stories, to products that bring comfort and joy into your home.
At its core, Sweet Sherry Pie is about more than desserts. It’s about creating moments of sweetness, whether that’s through a slice of pie, a jar of jam, or a recipe you’ll want to pass down just like my family did.
Thanks for being here — I can’t wait to share what’s coming next.
