What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can teach and coach others around plant-based, healthy cooking and wellness—blending instruction, content creation, and supportive customer/student experiences to help people thrive.

I’m a Remote Chef Instructor focused on meaningful, outcomes-driven learning in plant-based cuisine. At the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, I facilitate the course curriculum, customize course shells to add value beyond the text, guide discussion board conversations, and coach struggling students toward success while tracking progress using Sales Force.

I also bring wellness and creativity into education through my work as a Wellness Educator at SweetS, LLC / DBA - FLVR Flow, where I develop plant-based recipes and provide ghostwriting for individuals, businesses, blogs, and websites. I develop and teach yoga and healthy cooking classes, create and manage healthy lifestyle content (including the @morrisaengles and @flvrfoods Instagram accounts), and design courses and events that support a healthier way of living.
