Background in customer service helping clients through rough times and working in a variety of positions to gain experience, until I was hired as a manager. I gained a basic understanding of management and how to run a store open til closing, after enrolling in the Culinary Nutrition program at Johnson and Wales and exploring the variety of jobs in food that I could have after graduation. I learned about performance nutrition. I began working in the Sports Nutrition Department at the University of South Carolina Football Program as a Culinary Intern in September of 2023 . I started as a full-time Performance Chef for that department in September of this year.
