Chef Nina’s culinary journey reflects both versatility and cultural depth, having progressed through roles from commis to hot line cook, and now serving as Pastry Lead. Each stage strengthened her technical foundation, speed, and leadership under pressure, while sharpening her precision and creativity—especially in pastry. Alongside her professional growth, she has intentionally explored the roots of Afro-Caribbean cuisine, studying the history of the African diaspora and the global impact of its flavors. From understanding the resilience behind traditional ingredients to honoring the stories carried through spice, technique, and tradition, Chef Nina approaches her craft with both skill and purpose—blending refined execution with rich cultural influence in every dish she creates.

Immersed in the precision of Asian cuisine, she strengthened her knife skills, deepened her understanding of balance and flavor layering, and mastered the importance of consistency under pressure. The experience expanded her culinary range and sharpened her execution—foundational lessons that continue to shape her approach to food today.
