FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have to re-certify my Sanitation Manager's certification every 3 years. Also, I am constantly reading online culinary blogs, community posts, national conglomerate newsletters, dining and sales trends, business model profiles, and anything else I can get my hands on that has a breath of hospitality air in it. In my immediate future, I want to be able to enroll in the Florida International University's Master's Degree program in Hospitality Management.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started cooking, after school, trying to recreate what I would see on TV shows The Frugal Gourmet and Great Chefs, that was in middle school, and there was never any question from then on.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Fine-dining dinner parties, typically 15-20 guests, cooked and plated in their home kitchen. Also, birthday parties and picnics, where I deliver pre-made entrees, sides, and everything needed for the event.
