assistant manager

I was born and grew up in South Portland, Maine spending my free time at my dad’s pizza restaurant. As I moved from only pizza box folding as a child to busy Friday nights helping guests and making pizzas I grew to love food and hospitality. I moved to Boston in 2009 to go to school for chemistry. After a few years I knew I need to pursue my true passions. I changed paths and attended Cambridge School of Culinary Arts and got a degree in pastry. During my time at CSCA I began working at Flour.

I immediately fell in love with all things Flour. The food, the people, and the community. I enjoy nothing more than making long lasting connections with our team and our amazing guests. Food, dessert in particular, will always be my favorite way to spread joy!

When I am not at Flour I can be found binge watching Netflix with my incredible husband Matt and our two dogs, going to dinner, or spending time with our family.

head baker

I was born and raised in Stoneham, MA, just a quick 15 minute drive north of Boston! I started off in the Food Service Industry when I was a freshman in high school. From there, I developed my passion for working with food and the difference I could make in someone’s day through it, and decided to follow baking as a career path. I went to school at Johnson & Wales University down in Providence, RI and graduated with a bachelors degree in baking and pastry arts & food service management, as well as my MBA a year later.
Right out of college I was fortunate enough to join Flour as an opening baker at our Central Square location. Through opening I was able to work with our pastries one-on-one and really discover my independence as a baker. About a year later I moved up as head baker at Cambridgeport and I’ve gotten even more joy from managing the great team we have here!

Sous Chef

I was born and raised in El Salvador, a really small country in Central America, probably the smallest country in the continent. I left my country and came to the United States in 2010 when I was about to turn 20 years old. I came to this country without knowing or speaking any English. Since I have come to Boston I’ve been trying to learn English. I’ve been studying English for about four years now, three days a week from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. (Sometimes is a little hard to attend classes after work, but my dream is to learn and speak fluent English. I have to fight for it harder and harder every day.) I really like to learn and improve new things. That’s why I’ve been learning a lot here at Flour. I have been trying to improve every day since I started as a steward at Flour Fort Point in 2010.
When I’m not at work I like to spend time with my wife at home making some delicious pupusas. I also like going to the church with her, and in the summer time I love to spend time playing soccer.
