A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I love cooking, and when I say cooking I mean standing over top a huge griddle or fryer, fighting to get orders out. Growing up my grandma has always owned a restaurant.When I was younger we would go in for breakfast, I would help clear my moms tables. So when I became a proper age, I started with being a bus girl, and worked my way up the scale. Now I am only 18 and have 6 years of restaurant experience. I got accepted into TCTC because I wanted to advance in the restaurant industry. I never want to stop learning. Although, working for my grandma may seem highly beneficial and favored, it's not. My grandma has been extremely hard on me wanting me to succeed in the restaurant industry. A few months after I turned sixteen my grandma was diagnosed with cancer, and I was running the restaurant on the weekends. Due to the cancer, my grandma had to sell the restaurant. I am currently employed at Breakfast at Tiffany's in Sharpsville PA. Tiffany Daley, the owner, subbed for Mrs.Gillies toward the end of junior year into the beginning of senior year, she had hired me right out of TCTC junior year. I am currently head of the kitchen at our ”Cove” restaurant. Towards the end of senior year, I started teaching all of our juniors how to become a manager. Of course, cooking isn’t the only thing I enjoy.

My stress free zone. I am a very go go go person so I enjoy being able to go out with just a camera and take some pictures.

My Website
Junior Year we did a project called genius hour. Genius hour is when you pick a subject you are interested in and do research on it. I had done research on proper ways to use photoshop elements, camera care, and how to take manual photos.I had created a website and this is the link. http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Ftipsforbeginnerphotographers.my-free.website%2Fabout-me&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGF7SORqV6Ep-JdPfXVzTpdtB-smw

Spending Time Wih My Work Family
The pictures to the right are pictures of me at Breakfast At Tiffany’s. Although it is “just a job” the people are like family, The rotating pictures are mainly of Olivia (manager), Mrs.Daley (owner) and myself. I easily get mistaken as Olivia and Mrs.Daley. So we had a done a look alike photoshoot. Can you tell a difference?

Community Service

The Mission of Love is an organization that helps kids in Guatemala. I had done some volunteer work over the summer. When Champion Middle School closed, I had took a truck to get school materials for the kids in Guatemala. I plan to continue helping The Mission of Love.
