Sophia was inspired by Emeril Lagasse; the famous American Celebrity Chef and chose to pursue a degree in Culinary Arts because “It is more than just cooking, it’s Art and Science.” She loves working with her hands and being able to apply her creativity to her dishes. Sophia was a student in the Early College High School Program, and was very familiar with HGTC campus life. She says she chose HGTC because of the smaller class size as well as the cost of attendance.
Sophia credits her success at HGTC to the professors for both support and constructive criticism, the presence of the administrative staff. She is also appreciative of the opportunities provided to students provided to students outside of the classroom.
Her tips for new students are “take advantage of the advising process and networking with all the instructors you encounter!”
After graduation from HGTC, Sophia plans to open her own “Southern Cooking” restaurant.
Congrats Sophia for being chosen for our April Spotlight Student!
