Food, and culture were things I always had a love for. When I was younger I would sit at the kitchen counter and help my parents or grandparents cook. At a young age I was fortunate to travel to all over the world. As I grew up this love for food and culture only grew stronger as I began to travel more. I became even more invested in learning about the different cultures, food, languages and culinary techniques. This love for food lead me to culinary school where I was immersed in food and culture. I spend endless hours in the kitchens at SAIT trying to absorb and learn everything I could from my amazing Chef mentors and instructors. I graduated from the Professional Cooking Program from SAIT in the spring of 2008 but I felt a piece of my career was missing; it didn't feel complete yet. I worked at numerous restaurants, culinary institutions, and held numerous cooking positions. I still had that love and passion for food and culture but I wanted more. ? While at SAIT, I was very blessed to meet Mary-Sue Waisman, a Registered Dietitian and Chef. Mary-Sue spent time with me to show me a glimpse into the career of a Registered Dietitian. Looking back now, meeting her changed my life! I found a path where I could combine all of my passions into one amazing career a Registered Dietitian!
