About

I am currently a student in my junior year at Mott Community College in Flint, Michigan. I chose to go to this school because I liked the idea of the area I grew up in receiving the money from my tuition. Mott is also regarded as a great school and they have amazing opportunities and programs to offer. I am studying the culinary arts including both baking and pastry as well as professional cooking. I plan to add business as a minor too. I have had a love of cooking as long as I can remember it always has been something that mesmerizes me and its so exciting to learn about and perfect. Its amazing it took me three semesters to come to realization and get my major on track. I am a very goal driven person, I absolutely love to set a goal for myself and be able to accomplish it and set it even higher. I take my failures like I do my successes as lessons I can use for the future. I have a strong belief if you never fall how can you truly know how to get back up and better? I have yet to be able to join any clubs or do any activities like i wish to do due to covid. I hope to be able to participate before I finish my degrees.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I have a plan of opening my own conversion of a cafes that hopefully re-innovate how cafes are seen and regarded. I want to be my own boss and show how to properly treat the employees to maximize productivity and efficiency. I also want to bless the community with great food that doesn't break the pocket as well as a safe space to lounge and enjoy the amazing vibes that are offered.

Graduate school interests

Currently I am going for my associates, once I finish my associates I do plan to continue with getting my bachelors' in Culinary Arts. I'm undecided on if I want to go for my master as well.

Outside the classroom

I have a guilty pleasure for reading, its one of the best past-times to me. I love painting, its a great calming activity to help relax my mind after a big load of homework or long day at work. I love to bake and cook as well it is the best thing to bide my time and truly put me in a stress-free state.
