Welcome Jennifer Padilla, Director of Dining Services and Executive Chef
Jennifer Padilla has worked in the hospitality industry for 30 years and is passionate about bringing people together through food.
After graduating from the California Culinary Academy in 2003, she went to work for Marriott Hotels and had an amazing 20-year career beginning at the W Hotel in San Francisco and rounding it out as the Chef at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Sacramento. Most recently, Jennifer was the Executive Chef at Eskaton Village in Carmichael and found cooking for the residents so rewarding. As a seasoned Executive Chef, she is passionate about advancing her love of cooking and combining that with what the Sacramento region has to offer from a culinary perspective. Sacramento has a tremendous variety of delicious produce, and she loves to source food from our backyard in her seasonal style.
Outside of the office, Jennifer enjoys spending time with her husband, Paul, gardening, traveling, and playing with their cute dog, Cooper, a 25-pound Pomeranian she rescued, and his new playmate, LeeLoo, a stray kitten she recently took in. Jennifer is so excited to start a new path as Winding Commons' Chef and Director of Dining Services. She is looking forward to getting to know the residents and creating memorable dining experiences for them.
