Following graduation, she spent a year in Italy attending the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners while working at La Taverna del Lupo in Umbria and La Bottega del' 30, a one-Michelin star restaurant in Tuscany.

Upon her arrival in New York City, Burrell was hired as a sous chef at Felidia Restaurant, working with Lidia Bastianich.
