Meet the Business Owner

Business Owner

As a child, I spent a good deal of time with my grandmother playing with pie dough. Whenever she made pies, she would hand me a small chunk of dough to play with. I would sit on the floor and roll it into a tough little disk hundreds of times over, until the dough was barely recognizable as a food product. What could be more fun for a four year old? I loved it!

Flash forward many years later, and after a very brief stint in a pre-​med program in college, I ended up graduating with a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management from Boston University and then from the Baking and Pastry program at the California Culinary Academy. I spent the next ten years working at various five-​star hotels, including the W Hotel in San Francisco and Four Seasons Hotels in both San Francisco and Sydney, Australia, as well as at NECI here in Montpelier.
