My name is Kim. I live in Vancouver, BC. I have been working in the food and beverage industry since I was 17 years old. I was a hostess, busgirl, food expeditor, server, and bartender. Growing up my dad was a professional chef so I have learned from the best! When the pandemic happened I was spending more time at home, so it allowed me to explore my creative side. I have created a whole line of organic yogurt dipping sauces that have gained popularity among the fitness industry. If you would like to learn more about my dip venture you can search Dip Queen Vancouver to see all of my reviews from customers! I’ve worked on food and beverage teams since the age of 17. My most recent restaurant experience ended in 2019-2020 due to mandatory shut down due to the pandemic. I have my food safe course, and my smart serve.
