Suzy Medios

Suzy Medios graduated from Bauman College as a Natural Chef, and she has a passion for good food that nourishes the body and mind. She has been a food justice activist for many years working with local community farms and food programs.

Having worked in all different kitchens from soup kitchens to restaurants, catering coops, and corporate catering, food has been a lifelong passion. Suzy was fundamental in developing the current culinary program at Food Shift, including the Kitchen 101 module, increasing Food Shift’s meal production, crafting menus from recovered foods, and providing a quality workforce development experience for kitchen apprentices.

She has moved to Maui to start a farm, to go one step closer to the source of ingredients that have inspired her, and to be inspired by the land. As the heart and soul of Food Shift, we are fortunate to continue to gain from her wisdom at the advisory board level.
