Beatrice Heirigs

My career path is focused on reaching the pinnacle of culinary excellence. Currently, I am gaining invaluable experience as an extern at Jean-Georges, a 2 Michelin star restaurant in Columbus Circle. My journey involves working my way up through Michelin star kitchens in New York City, with the ultimate goal of becoming the youngest female Michelin star chef. I am dedicated to opening my own fine dining restaurant that champions healthy, sustainable, and delicious food. Through these experiences, I aim to innovate and lead within the culinary industry, while also inspiring and mentoring the next generation of female chefs.

In addition to my hands-on culinary experiences, I am deeply committed to furthering my education through graduate school. Pursuing advanced studies will allow me to delve deeper into culinary innovation, sustainability, and leadership within the industry. By enhancing my knowledge and skills at the graduate level, I aim to contribute significantly to the culinary arts and achieve my goal of becoming a transformative leader in the restaurant industry. Graduate school will equip me with the expertise necessary to open my own fine dining restaurant and advance my vision of feeding everyone healthy, sustainable, and delicious food.

I enjoy skateboarding, rock-climbing, backpacking, reading, styling, yoga, foraging, and making music.
