Living and working throughout the Seacoast of NH and Maine, Courtney has always had a passion for Baking & Pastry. It Began with her time in Culinary Arts at Portsmouth HS, and continued through her education at The Connecticut Culinary Institute. After graduating, an internship with the acclaimed Jacques Fine European Pastries grew into a full time role as a Baker and Cake Decorator. Four years later, she joined the team at Beach Pea Baking Co. in Kittery ME where she continued her work with cakes as well as refining her knowledge of pastry. As the Pastry Chef for Mezzanine Catering she brings both a wealth of knowledge and a great deal of finesse to everything from wedding cakes and specialty desserts to breakfast pastry and scratch breads.

When she’s not working on her confections, Courtney enjoys spending time her cat Khuno and dog Buoy, and skiing in the winter as much as she loves walking the beach in the summer. She has an extensive (and impressive) collection of sea glass and other treasures from the ocean.
