Randee grew up in Arkansas, where she developed a love for the outdoors through swimming, hiking, and camping. While in college, working at a bakery sparked a newfound passion for baking and hospitality. After earning a bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Administration, with an emphasis on food and beverage, she channeled her skills into the burgeoning food scene in Little Rock. Randee spent the next decade with a local restaurant group, helping to open new establishments, manage kitchens, and train staff.
Seeking a change from the fast-paced world of restaurant management, she transitioned to a baking-focused role at another local eatery, where her creativity truly flourished. Some of her signature recipes continue to be featured on menus today.
In 2022, craving a new adventure, Randee moved to Crested Butte, Colorado, where she became the banquet chef at Crested Butte Mountain Resort. Between preparing meals for weddings and large conferences, she embraced the mountain lifestyle, enjoying skiing, hiking, and all that the area has to offer. After two years, she set off for another exciting chapter and relocated to Palmer, Alaska.
When she’s not working, Randee enjoys skiing, biking, crocheting, tackling puzzles, and experimenting with new cookie recipes.
