Pyet spent part of her childhood on the Osage Indian Reservation, the remaining years of her life have been spent in Kansas City,KS. She relocated to Los Angeles, CA to promote wellness and nutrition through food.
Pyet's passion for cooking developed as a child while being the help in the kitchen. She was intrigued by the spices and aromas in her family's taquerias and restaurants in the Kansas City area. She attended culinary school to pursue a culinary education and since has earned a certification in Wellness & Nutrition. Pyet started a personal chef business 'Pyet's Plate' in 2015, to promote passion for wellness, nutrition and quality of food to the public.
