FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am currently a student at Bates Technical College in Tacoma, taking their food truck course. I plan on opening my own truck by this summer 2015. I am also a member of the American Culinary Federation and I am always taking workshops they have to offer. Whether it be plating techniques or Ice sculpting, I'm always looking ways to improve my craft.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
When I was about 7 years old I attended a small private school, and there the "lunch lady" would allow me to help her prepare meals. It would be small tasks like counting silverware or napkins, but watching her cook I felt I was looking at magician. A sprinkle of this, a dash of this and her knife skills, amazed me. But my favorite part of getting to taste test everything, oh boy I hit the jackpot! I had to learn, and she taught even to this day over 20 years later she still can't get rid of me :)
