Describe your project or internship. What are you excited about? Nervous about?
For my internship I will be taken behind the scenes of what chocolate making is all about. I'm really excited for this because although I'm already a baker this is something I actually have never done before. The one thing I would definitely say I'm nervous about would be of course failing but I know with time I'll get more comfortable.
​
Describe a new skill or new knowledge that you acquired this week while in externship.
I learned the process of how to get the chocolate in the molds correctly, also how to prep before touching the chocolate. I also didn't know coming in how strategic the process was and every single step is truly important for a good result.

​Challenges prompt growth --> What are some challenges that you have encountered and what are the steps you have taken to address and overcome those challenges?
I would say some challenges I have encountered would be realizing how different it is to be a chocolatier compared to a baker. Although they are both involving sweets and treats the skills to have for both careers are honestly really different, from the process to the skill.
How have your mentor and your co-workers supported you in your growth in skills and knowledge?
They have definitely taught me to have patience with the technique of handling and making chocolates. Of course to never give up and they sure do have a lot of patience for me considering the amount of orders they receive every week.
