Why did you become a chef?
I chose to become a chef because I loved cooking and food at an early age. I love seeing the happiness food brings people.
What is your day to day like?
My day to day is preparing food for events. I do hors d'oeuvres, seated dinners or desserts for events such as weddings and Bat Mitzvahs.
What kind of actions cause you pain?
Since I work events, I often stand and run around for 8-12 hours each day. This causes a lot of pain in the balls of my feet and my lower back. I also experience pain in my hand from holding the knife for long periods of time.
How has Copper Compression helped you?
The Half-Finger Arthritis Gloves help relieve pain in my hands from cutting for long periods of time. I also wear the Recovery Back Brace to ease the stress on my lower back after standing all day.
