Hello! I am so excited that you have chosen to be part of the Culinary Arts department at Little Elm High School. With almost 10 years of experience in the food industry, I have been able to explore different careers in the field. I have been a cooking school instructor, food services director, and private chef. I found my passion for teaching people how to cook early on and have incorporated that into each of my jobs. I graduated from the the Art Institute of Dallas with a degree in Applied Science in Culinary Arts. I absolutely loved my time in culinary school and I am excited to give the same experience to my students. When I am not cooking for friends and family I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two dogs, going to church, and exploring new restaurants!
