Arianne Gunn
Culinary Specialist
“I got to attend the New England Culinary Institute and completed courses about nutrition, baking, table service and even wine tasting. These went a step beyond the beginner principles of cooking, and all of the knowledge from those trainings helped prepare me for my job today — like a mosaic of all these different skills.”
