At Thompson Rivers University, I completed my Cook 1 certificate and received my ITA apprenticeship certification. After I received this certification I began working at Storms on the River in Kamloops BC, to obtain hours toward my Red Seal certification. Accomplishing this certificate led me to a decision of returning to post-secondary in order to work toward my dream of becoming a teacher. Achieving this certificate helped me to pursue my love for cooking and acquire many attributes that are necessary when working as a teacher. I have the ability to work in high-stress environments, problem solve, work collaboratively and independently, care for the well-being of others and so many other positive attributes that I will bring into a classroom.
