Joey Mai
Born and raised in Vietnam, where the definition of great food is highly related to the freshness of ingredients, Joey’s childhood was filled with joyful memories of going to early-morning markets to help her dad prepare family meals. She eventually realized that cooking was not only a hobby. Joey decided to leave Vietnam after high school and attended the Culinary Arts program at Red River College. She graduated and started her career as a Line Cook at Prairie 360 Restaurant, where she developed her skills and strengthened her work ethic. After a year, she became the Junior Sous Chef. Due to Covid-19, Prairie 360 has now closed. Fortunately, Joey was able to join the Winnipeg Squash Racquet Club kitchen team and currently works under the instruction of Chef Cameron Huley, former member of Culinary Team Canada
