Ava Chilelli, Facilitator
Ava has always loved to bake and cook; in fact, you may have even seen her as a kid working at a local Patisserie and Boulangerie on the Beaches!
In 2018 Ava graduated from the hospitality and food administration business commerce program at the University of Guelph. After a stint in a 9-5 office job, Ava quickly realized her true passion for creating in the kitchen and hasn’t looked back, starting her business YUM by AvaChilelliCooks and leading cooking activities at Beaches Sandbox.
