I love cooking and passing my knowledge and experience about food to others. I received my Bachelors at Eastern Illinois University and majored in Secondary Education. I have over 20 years of experience in the Culinary industry, mostly with Hilton Hotels. I am fortunate to be able to combine my education and work experience in my current position as a Culinary Arts instructor here at JEL. Watching our students grow and take pride in their skills is truly an honor. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with family and friends. Yes, there is usually food involved.

Food, Family and Friends has been what has kept me in the hospitality industry for more than 20 years.
My Culinary career began while I was still in high school, where I worked various restaurant jobs as a teenager and young adult. After attending college for Mortuary Science, I continued to work in hospitality for a few years before attending the Chefs Academy here in Indianapolis, where I earned a degree in Culinary Arts. I love food and the food service industry, and I enjoy passing on my knowledge to others. After working in the industry and running a catering business, I found CTE and have been in love with it ever since. I look forward to passing on my knowledge and skills to the next generation of future chefs.
I graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a BS in Career and Technical Education, with an emphasis in Family and Consumers Sciences. I worked at Pike High School for 7 years teaching Nutrition, Child Development, Personal Finance, and Interior Design. I like to exercise, cook new recipes, and spend time with my family. I love being a mom! I have a 1 1/2 year old and he's the best :)
I have worked in Culinary since I was 12 years of age at the family business, Primo Catering. After high school I attended Johnson and Wales University for Culinary, and soon returned to Indy for my career. After working with the Wolfgang Puck group at the IMA, I continued to work with Chef Gates through many ventures including Buggs Temple and Euphoria Restaurants. I developed a passion for teaching and training Culinary Arts and decided to start teaching in 2014.
I am the Instructional Assistant for Culinary Arts. Food is life! I attended The Culinary Institute of America and have been working in the industry ever since I finished school. I am always cooking and trying new recipes. Other than food, I love camping with my dogs and exploring the great outdoors.
