Chef
Keyla
Hey there, Chef Keyla here! A little bit about me... I've loved food ever since I can remember! I have a photo album full of pictures of me as a kid always eating or in the kitchen with my parents and my grandma. I was born & raised in Rhode Island, with Colombian & Puerto Rican roots. I attended a vo-tech high school with Chef Tarik, but it was really at The Culinary Institute of America where we became great friends. I graduated college with my degree in Baking and Pastry Arts & I never thought I would be back in Rhode Island after college but I'm glad I'm here. Throughout the last few years, I've really been able to home in on my professional skills and start ventures that I never thought were possible. I love seeing all my friends constantly growing and evolving along side of me and the fact that we can all work together for the common goal is what drives me day in and day out. I do the things I do with love and good intention and my greatest achievements will always be for the benefit of others. I am proud to be a part of Chef Tarik's team & help share his vision with the World ♥️
