This Week’s Episode: Au Cheval, Tapas Valencia, and Autre Monde

Hello there!

The past week has been quite a whirlwind! I officially started in my new capacity as the executive director of the Kendall College Trust, which is a not-for-profit that provides need-based scholarships to culinary and hospitality students. It’s a mission dear to me since I attended the Kendall College culinary program. I was an unfulfilled attorney who made a huge career change into the culinary world well over a decade ago, and Kendall provided a strong foundation upon which I have built my new career. Now being in a position to help others pursue their dreams is very exciting.
