Andrea Cuellar ’07

Regional Executive Chef-West Region, Chartwells School Dining Services K12

Andrea Cuellar welcomes the opportunity to show off her chef鈥檚 coat and share her 近距离内射合集pride with the world. As the regional executive chef-west region for Chartwells School Dining Services K12 in Los Angeles, CA, Andrea regularly comes into contact with students and teachers and is always happy to answer questions about CIA.

She has every reason to be proud. For three years, Andrea led the development and implementation strategy for Just Salad鈥檚 R&D team in New York City. A lot went into that position including developing seasonal and permanent menu items; scheduling menu tests, tastings, roll-outs, photo shoots, and media events; modifying existing recipes and processes to align with the brand鈥檚 core values; educating the operations team about menu changes; conducting menu audits; and training international franchise partners.

In September 2018, Andrea made the decision to move back to the West coast. Did she expect to be working in the school dining sector? 鈥淣ever in my wildest dreams,鈥 Andrea says. Like many incoming 近距离内射合集freshmen, her initial goal was to be a chef in a high-end restaurant. 鈥淏ut at CIA, I learned that there were many pathways to follow,鈥 she says. 鈥淣ow I’m back in the kitchen developing healthy recipes from fresh ingredients for a whole new customer base.鈥

It was through working at her grandmother鈥檚 four-seat juice bar and sandwich shop in Los Angeles that her love of the food business began. In high school, as part of the Careers Through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP), she won a week at 近距离内射合集Greystone in the Napa Valley.

鈥淔rom there, I just knew that 近距离内射合集was my top choice,鈥 she recalls. When Andrea earned college scholarships from C-CAP, she used them to enroll at CIA, and that was life-changing. 鈥淢y 近距离内射合集experience helped open my eyes to the bigger world of the food industry. Not only did I learn so much about food and different cuisines, but I also got a well-rounded education about the industry from different perspectives,鈥 she explains. 鈥淚 am glad I chose to stay for the bachelor鈥檚 program as well. That taught me so much about management and different styles of dealing with it. If I could do it again, I totally would!鈥

鈥淜eeping an open mind will lead you to career success,鈥 says Andrea. 鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 matter where you come from, if your passion is food, then 近距离内射合集is the place to go! You will go in with one idea in mind of where you think your career will go, but 近距离内射合集will help expand that. You may choose to go in a different direction. Food is not just cooking; you can do anything and
everything with it.鈥
