About me

I'm Shay! I hold a bachelor's degree in Culinary Arts Management and have transitioned from being a respiratory therapist in the Air Force to pursuing my passion for the culinary world. Currently, I work as a Food and Beverage Voyager at Marriott, honing my leadership and hospitality skills. Originally from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, I’m now based in Atlanta, striving to make a meaningful impact in the food and beverage industry. My goal is to combine my culinary expertise and management skills to create memorable dining experiences.

Why I Cook

When people are sad, they eat ice cream to soothe their feelings. When families want to celebrate a graduation, they choose a restaurant. The go-to idea to commemorate an anniversary is always dinner. Food attaches to so many emotions and brings back nostalgic memories. Cooking is my happy place. I want the experience of tasting my food to feel like a warm, loving hug from a friend you haven't seen in awhile.

Our dishwasher was flooded after she used it, which I didn't know she was using. The steak was so tough that our family couldn't eat more than a piece of it. The harissa chicken had a terrible smell to it when I opened up the container and smelled awful when we heated it up that we had to throw it away.
