This developed her pallet widely and conjured a great passion for food! However, prior to completely committing to being a chef, she first did a degree in business, specializing in entrepreneurship and then a 200hour Internationally recognized yoga course. It was while living and teaching yoga in Thailand that she finally fell into her role as chef while at a Wellness retreat.
