LAURIE
PHILLIPS-COX
Executive Chef
“I love the creative outlet being a chef provides - the joy of making people happy with food and constant opportunities for learning and growth.”
HEART, VISION & IMPACT
As the statewide chef for Chartwells K12 in Rhode Island, Laurie supports 26 school districts and helps serve more than 30,000 meals per day. And yet, she still finds time to connect with every team, elevate every event and leave every kitchen better than she found it, creating a culture rooted in respect, care and collaboration.
A Drive to Succeed
Chef's passion shows in everything she does. She’s a consistent ambassador for the Chartwells promise to serve happy and healthy meals—helping teams and students alike find joy and pride in food.
Her work doesn’t just support the mission, it embodies it.
#INFLUENCER
She has trained hundreds of team members on safety, presentation and culinary skills, transforming kitchen cultures across the state. Her influence extends beyond internal teams. As an example, one client asked Chef Laurie to represent them at the national Healthy Meals Summit, a testament to the value she brings to our communities.
