Since joining the team in 2024, Megan has grown from a Cooking Instructor and Shift Lead into a key team leader. Megan is a Registered Dietitian who received her Master of Science in Dietetics from Loyola University Chicago and her Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from Michigan State University. Her background includes extensive experience in customer service and hospital foodservice, giving her a strong foundation in food safety, specialized dietary needs, meal planning, and high-volume operations.
Originally from a small town in northern Michigan, Megan moved to Chicago to pursue her education and fell in love with the city and community. She has a long standing passion for cooking and bringing people together through food. As a Registered Dietitian, she is dedicated to expanding young palates to diverse cultures and flavors while helping kids build a positive, joyful relationship with food. She believes nutrition education works best when it is hands-on, creative, and approachable, and she is eager to continue helping young chefs expand their culinary horizons, gain confidence, and build lifelong skills in a supportive environment. Outside of work, Megan enjoys cooking, making art, socializing with friends and family, and live music.
