Summary

I studied at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School Paris for two years focusing on Patisserie and Boulangerie. I worked with them for six months, teaching classes and working behind the scenes with the school. I've had many years working in customer service before my enrollment in culinary school and that has developed my skill, working with teams and communication. I bring enthusiasm and dedication to everything I do.
