I grew up in a household full of good food, a love for travel and great books. I knew from a young age that I wanted to work with some facet of food. Through my time at SCS I developed a strong culinary repertoire and a curiosity for international cuisine. My career has allowed me to travel the world learning from chefs, street and market vendors, and I’ve made friends along the way. I’ve always enjoyed the continued learning that comes with being a chef, so deciding to transition to the world of culinary teaching is an exciting next step in my career.

I always knew I wanted to own my own business. One of my early jobs was working in a small café in Stratford, where I grew up. I worked there before and after school throughout high school and fell in love with cooking and decided this was the direction I would go. After working in numerous restaurants in Stratford and attending Stratford Chefs School, I traveled to the west coast to work at the Sooke Harbour House where my passion for creating menus and thinking outside of the box flourished…

It was my experience at The Old Prune that opened my mind to what exceptionally prepared food tastes like, and the power great cuisine can have on evoking emotion. Steele is a chef that inspires beyond precise culinary skill. He encourages awareness of the big picture…

I remember cooking alongside my grandmother as a child and feeling very at home in the kitchen. She would cook soups from scratch and hand-make pierogies all afternoon. I apprenticed at The Old Prune with Chef Bryan Steele and over the past decade I have been the Head Chef at Pazzo Stratford, Mercer Hall and The Red Rabbit. In 2018 we opened Old Man & Son, a new place to eat breakfast in Stratford.
