Professional Bio
Award-winning, French-trained Pastry Chef turned Interactive Keynote Speaker and Caregiver Advocate, Chef Maria Kemp helps organizations uncover the hidden workforce quietly impacting performance, burnout, and retention.
Drawing from her 8½-year caregiving journey, she combines lived experience with data-informed insights and a pre-made dessert as an experiential learning tool to challenge assumptions about what may be happening behind an employee’s performance.
Her signature keynote, *Blending Support: Helping Employee Caregivers Thrive at Work and Stay Engaged*, equips association and corporate leaders to recognize the impact of caregiving, look beyond what they see, and build cultures where employees feel seen, supported, and able to thrive.
Because what you see isn’t the whole story.
