I'm a 22 year old aspiring pastry & culinary chef. Although I was born in Atlanta, I kind of consider my home to be New Orleans. My family is all from New Orleans and like a true Orleanian, I was raised to love food. I love cooking because it utilizes my artistic talents in the things I make. Cooking and decorating cakes never ceases to put a smile on my face, especially when I see the smile on other peoples face while enjoying the fruits of my labor.
I have graduated from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Atlanta, Georgia, with a Certificate in Pâtisserie and Baking. The program was 30 weeks on campus and a 6 week externship. I served my externship at Sucré in New Orleans, Louisiana. They liked my work and hired me. I worked full-time at Sucré for a year and I loved every minute. I left Sucré in July of 2011 to return to Atlanta.
In the Fall semester of 2011, I started back to school at Gwinnett Technical College, in Lawrenceville, GA, persuing an Associate Degree in Culinary Arts. It's a two year program and I expect to have a lot of fun.
