Star Academy Culinary School Graduate

I graduated from Star Academy Culinary School in Syosset, NY 

I have a passion for creating new dishes and embellishing the standards to enhance their appeal.

I can have a flexible work schedule. I do need full time work. I am willing to work long hours. Please give me a chance. My work in the past appears spotty because I was helping to raise my daughter while my wife worked.
