I’m incredibly honored to share that I’ve been named International Alum of the Year by my alma mater, , recognized as the top culinary institute in the world. This award is part of the PIEoneer Awards, often called the “Oscars of international education,” and I’m humbled to be recognized among such inspiring global leaders. The ceremony will take place this September in London.
I received the description below from Ecole Ducasse:
“The International Alum of the Year Award recognises outstanding graduates who have made a significant contribution to their institution, profession, industry, and wider community, and those who use their international education to create meaningful impact both locally and globally.”
Grateful for the journey, for Chef and , for the chef and business mentors, and the opportunity to continue building something that serves both people and the planet. 🌿
