About

My name is Sophia Coffman, I'm 19 years old and am pursuing an associates degree in the culinary arts. I grew up with my five brothers and our dog, and had just about the best childhood a kid could ask for. Because of my mildly severe dyslexia and religious reasons I was homeschooled up until I graduated and began collage at 17. Since then I have moved out and am immersing myself in the awesome culinary program at Grand Rapids Community Collage.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I intend to use my schooling to help me work my way up through the hospitality industry. My end goal is to be a kitchen or front of house manager.

Outside the classroom

I love to work with my hands and I love making cool and beautiful things. Because of these tendencies I have picked up quite a few hobbies over the years, I've done tailoring, wood burning, embroidery, woodworking, painting, crocheting, and cake decorating. These being my most recent endeavors. I also love to clean, and I read voraciously.
