Katie Coffman – Right now, as of May 21, 2008, I am a 20 year old female who works as a server for a catering company and goes to school in order to become a pastry chef. I love food, though I have to say I love preparing it as much as eating it. There's something just so fun and fullfilling about creating dishes and meals, especially if I can serve it to other people. That might sound kinda strange, but eh, it's what I do! I can go on about food and desserts and the sort for quite a long time, so I'll stop now.
I also like books! I like owning them, so I try not to borrow them from people, because then I have this slight tendancy to not give them back... Music is also a great interest of mine, I own a tenor saxophone and a flute and have played a couple other things too. Piano though, is not my friend, as much as I wanted it to be. Bastard...
Where do you want to be May 15, 2013? May 15, 2003: Let's see: my sophomore year was finishing up, and I was celebrating my one year anniversary with my boyfriend at the time. In five years from then I was hoping to be married, almost done with my Music Education degree, and working at an elementary school somewhere teaching kids how to play/read music. Umm...yeah, my goals and ideas were entirely different back then. So in five years from now I want to be working somewhere either in LA, New York, or Las Vegas as a pastry chef in some really up-scale hotel/restaurant. That way I have the resources, knowledge, and skill to open my own dessert restaurant in one of those cities shortly thereafter. That's what I'm really, really looking foreword to. On the Verge will help by getting my name out there to all the big pastry chefs already in the industry, and make it easier for me to get an apprenticeship with one of them.
