My GA Story - Meggi Gutierrez

I came to the Philippines 3 and a half years ago with the sole intention of going to culinary school, and as soon as I took an initial interview at Global Academy in Las Pinas, I knew it was the right school for me. Everyone was extremely accommodating with everything I needed to get started, and while guiding me on my way to becoming a culinary professional, they also eased me into my transition to a new country.

As a Superior Diploma student, I had so many great experiences in the kitchen with my teachers. There's the rush you get as your first bread comes out of the oven, perfectly risen and brown, and the feeling of satisfaction that only comes with beautiful knife work. My favorite, though, was getting to combine science and food to make things that seem to come right from someone's imagination.
