While in high school I began to really enjoy cooking for not only myself but for my friends and family. I would watch food network endlessly and one day I saw a Le Cordon Bleu commercial come across the screen. I called the number and packed my bags a few months later and began culinary school in Las Vegas, Nevada. After a few years in the industry and competing in multiple culinary competitions successfully, I decided to start my own catering business. Zero Manipulation Catering offers private dining, meal prep, cooking lessons, nutrition coaching and we cater parties of ALL sizes.

The problem we solve for our clients is that we make everything your heart desires! Some clients want to expand their palettes and others want to eat a well-balanced meal each and every day. Having a well-seasoned and versed Chef you get to experience global flavors locally and from a trusted source. The community longed for better food options and after relocating from Atlanta, GA to Washington, D.C. we have single handedly impacted so much of our community by offering better options.

What sets ZM apart is quality, humility and willingness to make necessary changes to give our clients what they desire.

I am proud that my business stood the test of time, I have been a one woman show for 95% of ZM’s existence. I’ve pivoted so much and finally got to see my business consistently grow year after year. My business is self-funded, I took what I had and gave it my ALL. In the pandemic, I took my talents to TikTok to generate traffic to not only gain clients but to teach people how to eat and live better! The pandemic was such a game changer, but I came out victorious! My friends and family call me the pivot queen, when nothing seemed certain I persevered and never gave up! If something didn’t work I found another way.
