Chef Katie was born and raised in West Virginia along the Ohio River. She first fell in love with culinary arts working summers on a Sternwheeler on the river. Growing up, her mom described her as a country girl with city dreams.

At the age of 18 she moved to Florida to start making those dreams come true. She attended Florida Southern College and received her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. She then ventured to Orlando and graduated as Valedictorian of her Culinary Arts program at Le Cordon Bleu. After 10 years working in the high-volume, fast-paced restaurant industry, she is taking on Tampa, one private event at a time!

Whether it’s a swanky Saturday night sit down with friends, a cooking lesson for newlyweds, or a Sunday afternoon family supper, Chef Katie is ready to create the perfect experience for you and your guests. Call or text to set up your next event!
