What did you like most about ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½?
ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Culinary’s School opened up a world of experiences to me that changed the way I saw cooking before. By assigning the best Chefs in the industry as instructors, the highest quality tools and equipment and their perfect scheduling and planning, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ managed to provide an excellent opportunity for me to see "cooking" in a whole new light.
What is the most creative project you've done as a ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ student?
Being creative is one of the most important goals that ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ wants its students to achieve. With the training that was provided for us, we all had the space to explore a high level of creativity with recipes, designing plates and serving our food.
Where I found my strength in being creative was in the presentation of my dishes and how they get served. This has been my main focus since graduating from ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ and I have been able to showcase and promote this work of creativity on social media channels as well.

What inspired you at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½?
Being a part of a motivated team with the same goals and passions was the most inspiring part of my experience at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½. As a team, my fellow ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ students and I worked tirelessly, helped each other throughout the program and managed to meet all the deadlines and goals that we had set for ourselves.
