Rheanna is sixth generation born in Zion National Park and is humbly blessed to call Zion her home. Because of this ancestral heritage, Rheanna was taught the chemistry of food, the importance of flavor, and ethic of hard work and self-accomplishment.
As a child Rheanna's parents owned a successful restaurant in Springdale that earned the respect of locals, returning tourists, and first-time visitors. Completing school homework during a busy restaurant shift became the normal staple growing up in her family’s restaurant.
Rheanna is a third generation cook following much of what she was taught by her father and grandfather as they fed many in the Zion Canyon area since 1965.
Rheanna rarely sits still. Before family became the most important thing in her life, she earned two educational degrees at Dixie State University, is a mother, an inventor, a savvy business woman, a private cook, and a mental thought life coach that helps many woman avoid 'feeling stuck' in their personal and career endeavors.
Rheanna's different forms of hard work has been featured on Wal-Marts Get on The Shelf Campaign, Good Things Utah, Channel 2 News, and various other news and media outlets. Rheanna has cooked for celebrities, reality shows, record producers and sports figures. She doesn't like being defined as a celebrity chef, though. She would argue that we are all celebrities in our own right.
In her spare time, she loves teaching youth volleyball, playing volleyball, traveling, self-education, and her most valued treasure, her family.
Rheanna loves everyone and is incredibly excited to be a part of your event. Thank you for the opportunity.
Enjoy your stay inside Zion National Park...and dinner of course!
