OHEA Welcomes 4 New PHEcs this Summer

A warm welcome to four new PHEcs this summer! Congratulations on joining the OHEA community. We look forward to seeing where the diverse profession of Home Economics will take you!

Maddie Stolee, P.H.Ec.

Hello! My name is Maddie Stolee. I graduatued in 2016 from Brescia University College with a degree in Human Ecology. Next, with a vision to build a career around “all things food”, I completed my Chef Training certificate at The Food and Wine Institute at Niagara College. During my schooling, I worked summers and part time through the year at McCormick Canada (makers of Club House Spices and Seasonings). I first worked as a Product Development Technician, batching and testing new products, then later as an Assistant Culinary Technologist, assisting in the development and testing of recipes for new and existing products and to support McCormick’s website content, which is my current role. Over the years, I have certainly developed a real passion for food and a love for exploring new flavours and new ingredients. I’m looking forward to being a part of OHEA, as well as a lifetime immersed in the delicious world of food.
