Rising Senior Cooking Up a Bright Future at BOCES

SCHOHARIE – A rising senior in Middleburgh aspires to a career as a chef, and she found the recipe to achieve that success at Capital Region BOCES.

Angelina Holzschuh attends the Culinary Arts and Hospitality Technology program at the Career and Technical Education Center – Schoharie Campus. There she is learning the necessary skills to enter the workforce as a cook or chef or pursue additional training in college. 

“I like the creativity and freedom we have to explore and learn about what we want,” she said.

With the school year quickly approaching, Holzschuh said she is “looking forward to doing more baking and learning more skills while getting a good education.”

Ultimately, she hopes to go to college for culinary arts before entering the industry.
