I’m a wife, a Mom of a 9 year old boy and before arriving to California I was a high school Teacher in Mexico for about 6 years. With my husband’s help, we made a big change in my life studying at Sushi Chef Institute (SCI). One day I decided to go just for visiting the SCI and Tiana Pennington (administrator) gave me her time, she explained me all and invited to watch them for taking a look. With my poor English and my zero kitchen job experience decided to sign up for the course at SCI, the first day you can realize that Sensei Matsuda is not a teacher he is a Master Japanese Chef. He is so skillful, expert, his long knowledge, his abilities and his enormous experience making the best Sensei and the most important and he has a Master Chef character. The SCI is a great Institute where you can find very high standards. Also the SCI gives you the great opportunity to work in catering events and there you can see the amazing experience that Sensei Matsuda had. For me was a great, challenging, amazing and beautiful experience, I’m so proud for being one of the SCI’s students. Lastly, I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to every of my classmates and of course Sensei Matsuda but more than anyone, thanks Chef Nick for being so helpful because when I came to him with many many questions every day there was always an answer.
