Cynthia Ochoa

Hello there, nice to meet you. My name is Cynthia Ochoa (second from left end) and I'm involved in the awesome Culinary Arts program at Skyline High school along with all my other great cooking buddies! I'm really content to be part of this because when I'm cooking or baking, I forget about everything else, it's as if that's the thing that makes me feel at my best. During these 4 years, I've realized that being a chef is something I can see my self being when I'm older. When I first started high school, I wasn't really sure about what I wanted to do because there were so many subjects that interested me, but being in this class for this long has showed me that cooking is much more fun than I thought it would be! There are so many ways that can help me become part of the Cooking Industry and I can't wait to figure them out. One of the most interesting subjects of cooking to me is baking. Baking is inspiring to me because there are so many designs and flavors that can be put into a final dish. I can't wait to have my own restaurant one day and when I do, I'll happily say that these 4 years and college really paid off! I plan on getting an Associate's Degree at El Centro College, then study business and management so I can open my own french restaurant one day! I'm really excited about what Chef Rodriguez has planned for us this year! I know it's going to be an amazing year with all my great Culinary Arts classmates. Thanks for always being there for me!<3
