Jessica Anne Hendrick
Bilingual Educator. Culinary Arts Instructor. Founder of LOVAGE.
Jessica's work has always lived at the intersection of culture, language and creativity.
Originally from Southern California, she began as an English teacher working with families throughout Italy and at a school in India, where she also learned her hosts' regional cooking traditions.
She went on to build her career in the San Francisco Bay Area as a professional chef, cheesemonger and event producer with experience spanning restaurant management, catering and events, hospitality, sales, marketing and operations. Notably for nearly a decade Jessica served two administrations as the preferred Event Chef for the British Consulate General of San Francisco.
She now serves private international clientele and is based in Madrid, Spain. She holds a Masters in Bilingual and Multicultural Education and has thrived for 5 years in bilingual schools in Spain's capital, working with more than 500 students and 30 co-teachers, and training in project-based curriculum design.
