Hillery Wheeler
Director of Admissions
Hillery grew up traveling around the world. Once stateside again, she graduated from the University of Missouri and started working as an assistant to the ICE admissions team in 2009. She has since been promoted to Director of Admissions and works directly with students to help them realize their culinary dreams. “My culinary voice is an echo. Students that come to me are eager to start their training and absorb all the information and techniques they can," Hillery says. "From there, I spend time visiting the restaurants where they extern and work to enjoy their creations. As Director of Admissions, it's up to me to help students find the program and classes that are a good fit for them, so they're able to experience and learn everything the instructors have to offer, and then filter it through their own lens as they move forward to have full careers as chefs, pastry chefs and restaurateurs.”
