I previously worked in fine dining as a dishwasher prep cook and a line cook. I worked there for about 10 months before I took a break to focus on school. after that I got a new job as a line cook at a local bar and grill I worked there for about 3 months before I left to go to college. another thing I did during my high school was to go to a career tech center and take a culinary class there for a year, before the culinary program, was canceled the next year. later in life, I earned a scholarship from the Illinois Restaurant Employee Education Foundation.
