Get to know me better

A driven creative who finds joy in sharing my culinary art!

Hi, my name is Ryleigh! I am a knowledgeable chef with 7 years of kitchen experience, expanding into private client work. I found my love of cooking at a very young age and was lucky enough to have a mother willing to teach me the basics. I was able to expand my kitchen knowledge through culinary courses my high school ran, which truly cemented this career path for me. I also planned and orchestrated cooking camps for elementary-aged children while in middle school. I have worked in restaurants as both front of house and kitchen staff, but my passions lie in the kitchen. Aside from working as a prep cook, line cook, and company caterer, I have worked for private families as a household assistant and nanny. In addition to childcare and personal assistant duties, I ran weekly grocery shopping, meal prep, and menu planning. I have valued all the experience and knowledge I have gained over the years, and am ready to take the next step in my culinary career. I would love to take you along this journey with me!
