I'VE ALWAYS HAD AN ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
and started out by making fashionable zipper purses in high school. This led me to St. Edward’s University where I got a business degree in Entrepreneurship. Upon graduating, I worked in accounting for 2 years then finally realized it was time to do what I really wanted.
I always had a love for food (both cooking and eating!) so I enrolled in HCC's pastry program in Houston, Texas. Then dabbled in a few culinary classes, getting back to the basics. From there I worked at Mockingbird Bistro, The Houstonian, and stayed with Compass Group, where I grew from pastry cook to catering manager, combining my love of food and business.
I learned so much as a catering manager and realized I wanted to get back in the kitchen again, but this time, as a personal chef. And so in 2014 The Foodie Chef went from blogger to business owner!
I started this website in 2011 as a community for bloggers, like-minded cooks and people who have a love for food and travel.

may be rigged.

My favorite meal is spaghetti and meat sauce. -
