Chef Frank Abbinante: Culinary Arts Teacher Ace It- Red Seal Instructor: Gleneagle Secondary School District 43 (Coquitlam)Vancouver, BC: February 2017

Chef Marina arrived early on the day that she was teaching classes to our Home Economics and Cook training students. Marina was well prepared and started her set up. Once the students arrived I observed right away how Chef Marina greeted them and made them feel at ease. She started off by introducing herself and providing a brief bio of who she was and her cultural background.Marina was very informative and pleasant with the students. She was inspiring,funny and attentive. Marina made her classes interactive and fun. The students thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learnt how to make “Empanadas.”
