As a child, Jill spent a lot of time in the kitchen with her parents experimenting with recipes and trying unique foods. This helped to spark a passion for cooking in Jill and would eventually lead to her starting her own cupcake business at the age of sixteen. The business was a huge success and Jill knew she had a future in Culinary Arts.
Jill began to research culinary programs in the southeast and spent one spring break visiting several colleges. She soon decided Horry-Georgetown Technical College was the perfect fit for her because of the new state of the art facility and the affordable tuition. Jill was also excited to learn she could get a degree in Culinary Arts Technology as well as a certificate in Baking and Pastry Arts, both of which she is passionate about.
Upon graduation, Jill hopes to get a few years additional work experience before opening up her own restaurant. She would also like to keep her cupcake business open and thriving. Jill’s advice to new HGTC is to get as involved as possible around campus and to always have confidence in your work!
Congratulations, Jill, for being chosen as HGTC’s April Spotlight Student!
