Meet a NOCHI Student: Ruby Heausler

Ruby’s culinary journey started when she was just four years old, cooking alongside her maternal grandmother. In the kitchen she learned how to season with her heart and woo family at gatherings. Ruby is constantly learning new techniques trying to hone her skills and build up her repertoire. She has a dream to cook professionally for private clients in the future. There are few limits in the industry that can stop her!

Ruby joined NOCHI with the La Petite Grocery Scholarship and after graduating at the end of the year, Ruby plans to travel the world to become a more well-rounded chef and person. She also plans to obtain work visas in various countries such as Chile, France, and the UK, just to name a few! In hopes of using the knowledge learned to implement into her own unique cooking style. Ruby believes it’s critical to open oneself up to new and different cultures and kitchens worldwide.
