Her work centers on intentional cooking—using food as a tool to nourish, restore, and support the body through balanced, flavorful meals.

She has also competed on Food Network, featured on several local TV and magazine publications, and has serviced a decorated list of athletes and celebrities.
Today, Chef Derricka provides in-home personal chef services, private dining experiences, and small boutique catering throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.
