I have been a proud Destination Imagination volunteer for decades. Destination Imagination was founded in 1999 and has impacted over one million participants with the purpose to inspire and equip students with invaluable 21st Century skills, creative outlets, and the confidence needed to succeed in school, career, and beyond. My kids are some of those participants, but sometimes it feels like I have benefitted as much as the kids.

Hi, I am Chef Barbi!

This website has a lot of history behind it, and this latest story is over 18 years in the making. This story has been many things to me. It began as a goal I developed during my own fight with cancer. It became a motivation that pushed me to pursue my college education in culinary arts after cancer.

This website is over 18 years in the making and was a primary goal I developed after beating cancer. 

My hope is that it can eventually be a source of inspiration and nourishment to those fighting cancer and their loved ones.
