Weโre proud to shine the spotlight on Alicia Orellana, our Director of Admissions, and her 12 incredible years at CIL! Alicia is a trusted higher education leader who helps students confidently choose the right culinary program to match their goals and passions. Through thoughtful guidance, strong leadership, and a student-first approach, she continues to shape futures and strengthen our admissions team and the communities we serve.โฃโฃ

Outside of the school, Alicia is an avid traveler who loves immersing herself in local cultures and cuisines. Though she isnโt a chef herself, she does love trying new recipes and enjoying delicious meals with friends and family.โฃโฃ

When asked about her thoughts on LENOTRE she believes that our school is the perfect blend of hands-on experience and creative freedom. Advice sheโd give to any potential new student: "If you stay humble, stay curious, and stay consistent, youโll build a strong foundation for a successful culinary career."โฃโฃ

โSince an early age, I have always been fascinated by cooking, restaurants, and the world of hospitality. I graduated from LENOTRE in December 2023. I went straight into working at @mastrosofficial, where I started building my foundation in a professional kitchen. After that, I had the great opportunity to travel to Spain and learn from @ger_carrizo at his Michelin-starred restaurant @fierrovlc, where I was introduced to fine dining that blends Argentinian and Spanish cuisine. Iโm currently working at @lejardinierhouston, where I continue to grow and learn every day. Throughout this whole time, Iโve also had the pleasure of supporting @katyringfood, helping with a variety of catering events.โโฃโฃ

You know what they say, you taste with your eyes first! ๐
A fundamental skill taught in classic culinary training is the art of plating. When designing a dish, an expert chef will think beyond flavors to satisfy their guests` visual appetite.
