Meet Chef Ava

I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska. I was one of five kids, so naturally whenever I would cook growing up, the food would disappear so fast and I would get to play with another recipe.

I decided that regardless of income, I wanted to go to culinary school because I would feel so much more fulfilled in life making a living off something that gets me excited to do, COOK!

​

I have a bachelors in Hospitality and Restaurant Management from the University of Alaska Anchorage with a minor in business and nutrition.  

​I am equally as passionate about fitness which is why I count macros, and make sure my meals are portioned to benefit the growth of lean body mass with high protein and complex carbohydrates.  Catch me on Season 20 of Hells Kitchen being properly roasted by the renowned Chef Gordon Ramsay. 

Personally I enjoy hiking, bodybuilding and baking!  I have competed in Alaska's famed Seward Mt. Marathon every 4th of July for the past 10 years!  In November 2021 I was awarded a pro card in the WBFF Fitness Model Division in Miami. This August I made my pro debut at WBFF Worlds in Vegas training under the former World Champion, Hattie Boydle.  

I will continue to compete in bodybuilding shows in the future, after enjoying some time in off season and growth.
