What have
you done since you graduated?:
"I spent twenty three
years working at Highland Acres, a nursing
facility in Winsted as a cook. It feels
like I have been a cook forever. I raised
my children in Winsted where I have lived
all of these years.
After Highland acres
closed down, I worked at Northwestern
Connecticut Community College at their
bookstore, but I realized that I
really missed cooking so I accepted a
positon as a cook at GEER Village Senior
Living Community in Canaan. I stayed there
for two years, and then I took over GEER's
Railroad Cafe. They had the cafe available
and GEER asked me if I wanted to run
it.
When the Covid
pandemic hit, GEER was mostly shut down so
we couldn't operate the cafe. Eventually,
I decided to move the cafe to Winsted,
which is where we will reopen this month."
