Chef Sandra
​

Chef Sandra joined ABC of Westport in April of 2023. Sandra was raised in Bridgeport, CT and graduated from Central High School. 

Her culinary career started out as a prep cook at Hallbrook Hospital in Westport CT, where she worked for 5 years, with 2 great chefs, who taught her the ins and outs of the culinary world.

​

Sandra moved to South Carolina for 15 years where she worked to perfect her craft in both casual dining and fine dining. She feels that her best culinary work was at a  mental health facility for adolescents in Stamford, CT where she was more than just a chef to many of the kids.
