What can you say about a
woman like Keisha?!
She likes her food & wine!
That’s a good way to start. A true people-person Keisha majored in sociology
and communication in college to deepen her understanding of people in groups
and society and because she loves to socialize and engage in conversation – be
it deep or surface-level stories for laughter. After college, she began her
career in the non-profit, educational sector. She has had a deep love of food
preparation, presentation, taste and enjoyment since she was a young girl.
Keisha truly believes that community, family and love are built through shared
experiences over food! She likes to travel the world, read classic and
contemporary novels, watch movies, see plays, spend time with family &
friends, do Zumba, hot yoga, and take walks at Green Lake with a grande, non-fat
caramel macchiato placed firmly in hand.
After five years, Keisha left
her professional position at the non-profit in August 2012. She is now pursuing
her master’s student development administration at Seattle University. Keisha
also works on campus as the coordinator of off-campus student life. This will
further her passion and career in helping diverse students pursue their college
degree. On a personal level, Keisha will continue to create masterpieces in the
kitchen (hers and others) as well as sample the finest restaurants and food
trucks that Seattle has to offer.
