Jessica Welsh
Instructor
From her own birthday parties to family celebrations, Jessie grew up loving to plan events. After completing her B.S. in Business at UC Berkeley, she followed her passion for transforming big ideas into reality to LinkedIn where she planned corporate, training, and social impact events. Concurrently, she found ways to exercise her passion for working with youth from serving as an advocate for youth in foster care to guiding youth kayaking trips across the Bay. Today, she’s ecstatic to have found such a purpose-driven team that enables her to blend these two worlds - event planning and youth empowerment.
Chef Vanessa
Instructor
Some of my earliest memories are the Sunday lunches that my Venetian grandmother used to cook for our family in her old-fashioned kitchen, at the heart of São Paulo city, in my native Brazil. I was the first granddaughter and proud to be her only assistant in the kitchen, blending egg yolks and olive oil by hand to make aioli, or shaping gnocchi with my little fingers. Little did she know that she was setting my direction and that I would choose to spend the rest of my life exploring the language of food. My passion for food stems from a core belief that it is a bridge that connects us as individuals to community and environment, that it is a gift and medicine, and that it can be a rooting element to our health. That core belief and the joy that comes with it is what I try to share with friends, family and students.
