Chef Jill Lawrence, President of Culinary Campus, spent the first twenty years of her career working events. She organized conventions, golf tournaments, concerts, radio shows for NPR, and more. After working with celebrities Annette Bening, John Goodman, Ed Asner, and Richard Dreyfuss, Jill followed her passion for cooking and went back to receive her third degree, graduating with dean's honor from the Art Institute, Orange County.

Collecting experience from various restaurants, Chef Jill branched out and created Culinary Campus because her cooking career took an interesting turn when she found out she had RA. Refusing to take a pill everyday for pain, she researched how to heal by changing her diet, and has since become an expert in cooking clean. Chef Jill is a leading Orange County personal chef.
