How Catapult Culinary gave one entrepreneur a jump start

August 8, 2025

From cleaning pickle jars to running Aunt Cheryl’s Cafe, Precious Chambers is blending education and opportunity to grow her family’s legacy.

Working with PSH’s Wayfinder Program, which supports single parents working toward college degrees, she enrolled in Point Park University‘s Hospitality Management program. One thing led to another, and through Pittsburgh Scholar House, she learned about Catapult Greater Pittsburgh Culinary and applied to the spring cohort.

Now balancing both programs, Chambers says each one has strengthened the other, and together, they’ve created real momentum for the business.

Natasha Tull, PSH Wayfinders Program Coordinator, said, “Precious has really taken off since we met her; a testament that PSH is so much more than just an education program…not only do we provide #keystodegrees, we also offer avenues to connections that are life changing! I love to see the synergy that can come from connections like this!”
