I recently attended and graduated from The Culinary School at Eva’s Village because I have decided to follow my passion for cooking and to build my knowledge of the food service business. I work well on my own as well as part of a team, and I am always looking to improve myself through constructive feedback. I hope to use my new degree to enhance my career and obtain a position which allows for personal and professional growth.
