I'm Mariel Marchand
I'm from Mexico
I study at Le Cordon Bleu Paris Institute
I'm doing the Basic Pastry Intensive program.
I started cooking when I was 15
and when I was 16,
I started a little business
uploading my photos to Instagram.
I studied 1 year abroad in Switzerland,
and there I had a Le Cordon Bleu class.
I really enjoyed it,
and I got to meet some of the Chefs
So I decided to come here
to get better at cooking.
All the Chefs are really helpful.
They always look out for what you need.
They really explain to depth every dessert we make.
And I really like that.
I love that they show us different techniques
for each thing.
Today I loved getting to do the Paris-Brest.
because it was the first time I did it.
I like that they make you feel comfortable doing it.
After I graduate,
I would like to come here.
and finish the Intermediate and Superior level
After that, I'll go back to Mexico,
and maybe work with some alumni
and open up their business in Mexico.
Then maybe, I'd like to open my business.
