Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexandrea Brea.
Hi Alexandrea, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
This was definitely a journey to where I am today. I remember in high school, my mom asked me what I wanted to major in. I remember googling, “What college majors make the most money?” The first thing that came up was engineering. I always wanted to be successful, and to me success was associated with money. So that’s exactly what I did, I went to Florida Memorial University and Florida International University to major in just that. While there, I had an opportunity to work for Walt Disney World Imagineers, NASA and Department of Defense. I literally did everything from roller coaster concepts to work on the launch schedule for SLS space vehicle to testing flight simulators for the NAVY. All within three years, I was thought to be building an amazing engineering resume. After getting stuck with calculus, I realized maybe I’m just not cut out for it anymore so I switched gears.
The only person in my family that could cook was my grandfather Wilmore “Slater” Rolle. He was an executive chef my whole life in the pristine Bal Harbor 101. I always loved watching the cooking channel from middle school and literally my tv would never leave that channel. Not sure what captivated me but I guess to see what people could do with foods and the different techniques caught my attention. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize how much I love cooking until after my granddad passed away when I was 18 before I was interested in learning what he wanted to teach me from when I was way younger.
After working in 3 different restaurants in a span of two years, my company “The Private Chef Experience Miami” was created.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Definitely not a smooth road, there was plenty of trial and error along the way. Not only was this a new profession for me but a new business as well. Some struggles were how to get it started, how to have people find out about it. With no money and resources was definitely tough but I used this opportunity to get too creative.
