Born and raised in eastern North Carolina, Fresh started remixing southern culinary traditions as soon as she
could walk and hold a whisk. Transplant to the Midwest, they now call Chicago home. An
engineering and physics nerd turned chef, she has professionally studied cooking in Thailand and the U.S. and
has worked in elite kitchens, including Google and Facebook.

Their community-based edible activism among communities of color, elders, and youth is where her heart most deeply resides. They strive to make nutritious food accessible to all. She provides weekly meals for various non-profits and programs dedicated to increasing food access for the homeless, street youth, and seniors.
