She’s an award-winning chef in the Caribbean food arena. In 2012 Chef Vicky was awarded a silver medal from the Caribbean and tourism Association at the taste of the Caribbean Olympic stage. Upon leaving Haiti in 1994, she dreamed of representing her country one day on a national stage. In 2012 she was called to represent Haiti and be part of the Culinary Team Haiti as a culinary chef ambassador on center stage competing with 11 other Caribbean nations. She is a Subject matter expert in the following fields of study: Restaurant management in Hospitality industry, Culinary Arts, and Dietetics and Nutrition. She has shaped her professional and personal life through her upbringing.

The granddaughter of a self-taught distiller, she grew up on a family compound in Haiti that shared the same land with the family distillery. Sunday dinners were grand feasts at home. The meals were prepared from her family’s organic garden and meats were farmed nearby. From a rich culture, she hopes to bring to the table her traditional flavors elevated with an innovative and modern contemporary cooking style.

Chef Vicky’s ingredients and her cooking are sweet, exotic, bursting with flavor, and a portrait of the love and effort she puts in her individual dishes. Her international and Caribbean contemporary cuisine is unique, warm hearted, fresh and flavorful, like a tropical hideaway on your palate.

She began learning the business at a very young age from her family. Her passion for business is innate and fuels her energy to inspire others each day home.

Her single motivating purpose is to have an impact in other people’s lives whether they are clients, fellow chefs or entrepreneurs in the culinary field and/or small business knowledge in the hospitality industry. She truly believes that education and experience are the best tools for anyone’s career development, but her talent is something that lies within her heart and my soul. Taking her chances as an entrepreneur, managing it all with a family, a husband and three kids, at times may seem like a lot to do, but what gives her the courage and energy is her passion for food and family.

She attended Culinary School at Le Cordon Bleu Miami and holds a Bachelor in Hospitality Restaurant Management and lastly holds a Master in Dietetics and Nutrition and both degrees were obtained from Florida International University (FIU).
