Joel F. Garcia

Diploma in Professional Culinary Arts.
Chef, Midas Hotel and Resort
Joel signed up for Global Academy’s Diploma in Professional Culinary Arts to pursue his passion for cooking. “I figured if I was going to keep cooking, I might as well take it more seriously and be a professional cook.”
The hands-on training he got in school had a huge influence not just in how Joel works in the kitchen, but also in how he manages himself and deals with challenges.
“I have high respect for how our chef instructors taught us. They could sense where you needed help and they knew how to push you to your maximum potential.”
Like a seed, Joel’s Global Academy education set him off to his career as a professional chef. “All I’m doing now is growing it by learning new skills and life lessons every day.”
