Ms. Suanlarm
Nicole Suanlarm began as EASTERN’s Culinary Arts Instructional Aide in September 2015. She is a 2007 graduate of EASTERN’s Culinary Arts program and Upper Moreland High School.
Ms. Suanlarm brings a great deal of culinary experience to EASTERN, including an internship in Ireland, a managerial position at the Cheesecake Factory, and demonstrations at the Reading Terminal Market.
In the future, she plans to mentor students and teach them to pursue their passion. If she could offer some advice for incoming Culinary Arts students, she would tell them to, “take as many opportunities as you can get and do not be afraid to take chances. You are your greatest resource when you enter the culinary world.”
