Growing up in Westchester County, NY, Chef Victoria's family empowered her through holistic modalities such as chiropractic, acupuncture, mindfulness, and of course whole food. This environment combined with her Italian genes lead her to a combined passion for food and health. She studied her craft at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island. Holding a Bachelor's degree in Culinary Nutrition in addition to a Master's degree in Culinary Education, she has worked in various roles within restaurants, spas, hospitals, schools and specialty food companies. She is currently a full time Family & Consumer Science (FCS) Educator at Stonington High School. FCS is the new name for what used to be known as "Home Economics" which includes Food & Nutrition, Human Development, Textiles & Fashion, Architecture & Interior Design and Personal Finance. Outside of her career, she is the lead singer for a band called Elemental Groove and an avid dog lover (to her fur-daughter Anisette). 

At the end of the day, she believes in the nutrition motto: 

food must be enjoyed with balance

food must be enjoyed in moderation 

and food must be enjoyed with variety.

We all need to eat in order to live, but why not enjoy living through food?
