Summary

I have an insatiable curiosity about anything and everything that goes into and comes out of the kitchen. I graduated with an Associate's degree in Baking/Pastry and am currently working towards completing an Associate's degree in Culinary arts. My current goals are to gain more hands-on experience in the hot side of the kitchen, and continue to grow my understanding of how to improve the environmental impact of the food industry.
