I am majoring in Hospitality Management with a concentration in Culinary Arts. My goal is to become an executive chef and open my own restaurant as well. I had a couple experiences in the restaurant industry, with the help of C-CAP (Careers Through Culinary Arts Program) I’ve worked at Skadden Arps Cafe as an kitchen intern (which was my first summer internship) and recently, Gotham Bar and Grill as a garde manger intern. With these experiences I had, my passion in this industry and love for the kitchen had grown more. My personal strengths would be, assertive, attentive and a fast learner. But public speaking is what I need to improve on.
