“I graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in April 2022. Right afterwards, I moved to Ohio to work in a bakery I had admired for years, because of their amazing work with buttercream cakes. After that, I moved back home to Maine to work at the White Barn Inn. I’m a pastry chef there and every season, my coworker and I pitch ideas for the new dessert menu. I have been there for ten months now and have gotten 10 items on the menu!”
