Ep 31. Heidi Yu Spurrell - Keep Learning Every Day
In this episode #31, we speak with Heidi Yu Spurrell, the Managing Director of Food Made Good in Hong Kong. While Heidi comes from a foodservice family, she didn't get into working in food herself until relatively recently. Heidi graduated with a degree in photography from art school in London. She then taught English in Rome and Tokyo, where she met her husband. They moved around a bit, to Hong Kong, and then back to Europe. It was hard being a trailing spouse, and Heidi needed something that would fit into her family's travel schedule, and also suit the needs of her children. She decided to pursue a Masters in Food Policy, which provided a foundation to where she is now, working in food and sustainability.
