Where you'll learn
Profile: Kiran Pinto, Junior
Kiran has already finished her 800-hour internship requirement. She started her freshman year by talking with chef Paul Connors about his pastry kitchen when he visited the Boston Cooks Food Show. She asked him if she could tour his facility. Connors, then the head pastry chef at the award-winning and chic Boston restaurant Radius, offered her an internship during their tour.
“That same semester I was a student in the ‘Fundamentals of Food Service Management’ course for which I am now the teaching assistant. The chef-instructor of the class made sure my skills were exemplary by paying particular attention to my work and giving me constructive feedback on all of my projects. As my time at Radius continued, I moved about the restaurant doing different jobs. My professors took a personal interest in what I was doing and frequently asked me industry-related questions during class. I’m now on a managerial track with Radius, helping to organize staff and prepare for the opening of their new restaurant in the Theatre District. I certainly could not have been as successful with my internship had I not had that kind of support from the School.”
