>> I came to Allan
Hancock College
for my goal being a pastry chef.
Since I was little, I've
always wanted to bake cakes
and cookies, and I grew
up just doing that.
I chose Allan Hancock because
truthfully it was the closest.
I didn't want to move
far away from home,
and it was just perfect timing
because we just built
a brand-new kitchen.
So it was really cool because
I came in Hancock as a freshman
with a brand-new
professional kitchen.
You leave school, you leave
class realizing how spoiled we
are here.
Like, we have everything that we
need, you know, the proof box,
the conventional ovens, and
three standard dishwashers,
everything, and it
really feels surreal
that we're using what
professionals use.
My favorite thing
in the culinary program are
the lectures that chef gives
because he's always
talking about food
and culture worldwide.
So that's probably my favorite
part, his lectures because a lot
of things that I've never
really known before.
