Chef Marissa Finch
I was born and raised in the greater Seattle area where my early years were heavily influenced by the kitchen. My dad ensured I could feed myself which sparked a lifelong interest in cooking.
It wasn't until high school that my true love and passion for food fully emerged. With encouragement from my uncle, I decided to pursue this passion and enrolled in Renton Technical College immediately after graduation. I completed their Culinary Arts program in 2018 and haven't looked back since.
My career has spanned various roles in the culinary industry from line cook to catering and working in office building cafes. I spent nearly four years as a chef at an early learning center, cooking for 60 children with diverse dietary needs which I absolutely loved. Throughout these experiences, one thing has always been clear: I was meant to be a chef and bring joy to people through food.
I believe my passion for cooking and meticulous attention to detail ensure that every meal I prepare for you is a delightful experience.
Fun Fact
Friends and family are very important to me. My besties and I enjoy going to trivia nights, checking out local cideries, and playing D&D. I own five chickens and two cats. If the weather is right, I enjoy spending as much time outside as possible.

How thrilled we are to have Chef Marissa as our Chef! She has been amazing for our family. She is very sweet and we all love her bubbly personality! In addition, our daughters, who want to be chefs when they grow up, look up to Chef Marissa and are always happy when she is here and they get home from school.
