Read the full testimonial below.
"Going back to school at 37 as a wife, mother of four, wedding cake designer, and caregiver wasn't something I took lightly. There were plenty of days when it would have been easier not to show up. But earning my Culinary Arts education from the University of Tennessee is one of the accomplishments I'm most proud of.

I came into the program with experience in baking and food service, but UT challenged me to think bigger. Through kitchen labs, production work, menu planning, and service, I gained skills that stretched far beyond what I already knew. More importantly, I learned to trust myself in new ways and gained confidence in my ability to lead, adapt, and grow.

The instructors pushed us to work hard, hold ourselves to a professional standard, and take pride in what we produced. They expected excellence, and that expectation helped me become a stronger culinary professional. What I found at UT was more than culinary training. I found confidence. I found purpose. I found a community of people who genuinely wanted to see each other succeed. The relationships I built and the lessons I learned will stay with me throughout my career.

This program reminded me that it's never too late to invest in yourself and pursue something you're passionate about. I'll always be grateful for the experience, the opportunities, and the people who helped make it possible. I also have to praise my sweet family. My kids have sacrificed a lot of time with their Mom for this. And thank you to my Husband for saying, "It's your turn," and sending me to school."
