Summary
I’m a Baking and Pastry Arts graduate from the Culinary Institute of America, finishing my studies this August. During my externship at Mauna Lani, Auberge Resorts Collection, I gained real-world experience working in both high volume production and fine dining service. I’m passionate about creating thoughtful, high-quality desserts and excited to keep learning and growing in the industry. I’m eager to bring my creativity, attention to detail, and strong work ethic to a team where I can continue building on everything I’ve learned so far.
