My name is Ashley Nichole Resto & I’m 18 years old. I came to Kittrell Job Corps Center to become a better person, employee, and daughter. I chose Culinary Arts as my trade, because I have pretty much grown up in my aunt’s kitchen  cooking and baking all kinds of food. While I can cook certain dishes and have a bit of kitchen experience, I would love to learn everything there is to know about what really goes on in a Restaurant Kitchen, from the food to the business to the clean up. Everything about the culinary arts trade has me extremely excited to start.

Ashley Nichole Resto received her CPP Certificate of Completion from Mr. Hargrove, OA/CPP Coordinator.
