Catherine Cooper, owner of Meal Maven, Inc., pursued her passion for cooking after learning more about nutrition through her public relations experiences working on food accounts. She grew up helping her grandmother in the kitchen and has always enjoyed entertaining her family and friends.
Catherine holds two Master Degrees in Education from Boston University and Lesley College. She taught elementary grades in Boston and New York City, which gives her an edge providing cooking classes for children, cooking for families and pleasing those finicky taste buds!
Many people turn to processed foods and ordering out. Exposing children to the world of cooking and healthy options will instill good eating habits for a lifetime! They will take pride in what they eat and make smart choices away from home. Catherine is a nutrition advocate and enjoys helping her clients to lead healthier lifestyles through food and fitness, whole body wellness approach.
Catherine has enjoyed a number of culinary courses in Paris, France, Chicago, New York City, Santa Fe and completed the United States Personal Chef Association (USPCA) culinary program at the Culinary Business Academy in New Mexico.
