Performance Profile

Chef whose skills where derived from my time at the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago. The average student completes the program in two years but I managed to focus all of efforts into my education and follow my passion to cook as a result, I completed the program in 1 year and 4 months. I maintained a GPA of 3.61. After graduating I put to practice my newly found skills while keeping and open mind and absorbing new concepts in an effort to perfect my culinary talents.
