Hello, my name is Suzanne Flanagan.

Being a Skill Share teacher gives me the opportunity to share my love of cooking with my students.

I have an Associates of Occupational Sciences Degree is Culinary Arts from Johnson and Wales University in Rhode Island. I received my degree in 1985.

My mother is the reason that I became a chef. She was a gourmet cook and loved trying recipes from other countries. I grew up eating dishes like paella, tempura, fondue, cheese soufflé and many other wonderful dishes.

I became a banquet chef just out of Johnson and wales. This was my most challenging job, but also my favorite!

I later moved on to being the catering manager at a Silicon Valley firm.

I moved up to Sacramento where I was a kitchen manager for a large restaurant. Unfortunately during my time there I tore 73% of my back muscles. This sidelined my career for some time.

I feel fortunate that Skill Share exists so that I can share my knowledge and skills with you.

Thank you for taking my classes.

Suzanne Flanagan
