Ligaya began her journey in the world of electrical engineering, but her true passion was always in the kitchen. She followed her heart, and it led her to a culinary adventure that has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Her culinary education took place in the Philippines, where she honed her skills and immersed herself in the vibrant flavors of international cuisines. In 2017, she embarked on a culinary journey to the United States through the J1 Visa program, where she had the privilege of interning at Lakeway Resort and Spa.

In 2021, she was part of the opening team at Bay View Restaurant, where she continued to refine her culinary craft. Just a few months later, she was promoted to the position of Junior Sous Chef, a testament to her dedication and commitment.

With a continuous appetite for growth and learning, she transitioned to Bay Kitchens Catering in late 2022, where she embraced the challenges and opportunities of the catering world.

In July 2023, she reached another milestone in her career as she was promoted to the role of Catering Sales and Service Manager. In this current role, she combines her culinary expertise with her interpersonal and organizational skills to create exceptional events and unforgettable dining experiences for our clients.

Ligaya’s journey serves as an inspiring example of how a combination of passion and dedication can lead to success, both for the individual and the organization they work for.
