If we were to interview your teachers, what would they say about you?
Missy had a genuine enthusiasm for learning and was determined to succeed. She actively pursued opportunities to broaden her skillset from being School Nutrition Association president to working with U.S. Olympic Training Center chefs.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
Since I was 11, I envisioned myself as a veterinarian, influenced by my upbringing surrounded by various animals - from dogs and cats, to pigs I raised for 4-H and horses I worked with. However, upon entering pre-vet school, I discovered a greater passion for food, leading me to transfer to San Diego State University to pursue that interest.

First Job: At 10, I started my first paid job, in which I spent hours on my bedroom floor hand-addressing envelopes for my mom's boss. She was good at finding jobs for my brother and me, which taught us valuable skills.
