Dedicated pastry chef and experienced lead teacher.
What I'm looking for
With a strong foundation in culinary arts and education, I have dedicated my career to nurturing creativity and fostering learning environments. My journey began at Le Cordon Bleu, where I earned my Associate's degree in Baking and Patisserie Arts, which laid the groundwork for my passion for pastry creation. I honed my skills as a Pastry Chef at Douceur de France, where I not only crafted exquisite pastries and cakes but also engaged with customers to enhance their dining experience.
Transitioning into education, I served as a Lead Teacher at Kids R Kids Learning Academy and La O'wn Academy, where I focused on child safety and development. My experience in both culinary and educational settings has equipped me with a unique skill set that combines creativity, leadership, and a commitment to excellence. I thrive in environments that challenge me and allow me to contribute positively to the community.
