Chef Emily Wallace was inspired to become a chef because her grandfather took her to cooking classes as a child. He instilled in her a love and passion for creating beautiful and delicious food which grew into her desire to explore the culinary industry. Chef Wallace has been one of the Chef Instructors in the South Puget Sound Community College’s Culinary Arts Program since September of 2017. She graduated with her Associates of Applied Science from the Culinary Arts Program at Renton Technical College in 2010 and she has participated in ACF cooking competitions and earned multiple gold medals. Before joining the culinary arts team at SPSCC, she developed and maintained her skills at leading local restaurants, her own catering company, and working closely with local artisan butchers. Since accepting the instructor position at South Puget Sound Community College, she has been working closely with the staff and faculty to grow the Culinary Arts Program through curriculum development and outreach. Chef Wallace looks forward to instilling her commitment to excellence and passion for the food and hospitality industry on to her students.
