IRENE KESTNER:
I’m Irene Kestner.
I am a nutrition manager,
currently working as a
food service supervisor in
acute and long-term care.
I knew that I was interested in
getting into the culinary field.
I’ve always cooked as a child.
When you cook at home,
you’re cooking for leisure;
you’re cooking for your family,
you’re cooking for your friends.
When you get into the classroom
and you learn all of these
techniques and methods, it’s
like learning a new language.
The class sizes are
so small and intimate.
You're really able to
build that relationship
with the professors.
They were easy to approach,
they were easy to talk to.
You're only gonna have
one or two professors.
Lloyd was that professor.
He was the program coordinator.
He was there through
all of the challenges.
He helped all the students
to become the best that
they can be and really
set us up for success.
I’ve always been interested in
working in the healthcare industry
but I’ve also always been
interested in working
in the culinary field.
My current role as a food
service supervisor really
allows me to get the
best of both worlds.

There's so many different
places in Toronto that
you may not know about.
If you’ve just come to
visit or you're not from here,
I would just recommend to
anybody who's coming here
for the first time,
to take a look around,
to explore new places, to go
to all the different markets
that the city has to offer and
to really explore the city.
George Brown is right
in the centre of it all.
