Most of my early work experience was in the restaurant industry. I cooked my way through college, specializing in vegetarian cuisine. After graduation, I taught High School science at three different school districts. I incorporated cooking into my Biology and Chemistry classes. My biology class was designed around an organic garden, created by grants I wrote. After loosing several students to opiod addiction I went back to school and became an addiction specialist.
