Mark Angelo D. Jimenez

From selling his own version of banana bread door-to-door in a quaint neighborhood in Quezon City to joining bazaars, Chef Mark now owns and heads Happy Dough in SM North Towers. This alumnus cites three aspects of success in his field which he dubs “the holy grail” - a world-class culinary education to keep up with innovation, an undying vision to make it big, and a relentless entrepreneurial spirit to get things done. These essentials, Chef Mark says, are the biggest contributions of Global Academy to his journey.

He further states that his start-up owes its growth and success to the school’s promising program in culinary, baking, and pastry arts. That his training has turned him into a baker who’s constantly pushing his limits in food innovation. He declares that a solid culinary foundation coupled with an industry-ready mindset from Global Academy brought him to new heights as a cafe owner.

He further shares, “It was an ambitious move to pin a concept on the map of the local mall scene. Despite the initial bumps, his wholistic training from Global Academy centered in character-building has groomed me into a persistent and stubborn entrepreneur, ever-ready to face huge risks.

Gaining access to a premiere world-class culinary education through Global Academy has brought a huge turnaround in my career. The persistent mentoring by my chef instructors coupled with a thoughtfully-designed curriculum have paved a way for me to reach my maximum potential not only as a baker, but also as a young entrepreneur. My chefs became not only my culinary teachers but also my life coaches. I would say that Global Academy has honed me into a baker of global competence fitting to survive and thrive in this demanding cafe industry.”
