Kacey Abbott

Sous Chef at Jax Fish House

My experience at WCCC prepared me for my career by teaching me how to be a team player. During my time in the culinary program, I spent a lot of my time as a part of a team; from day one we worked in groups. Two of my three years were spent on competing and training with Chef Jon and five others. Therefore I learned that working in a kitchen, you are always relying on your teammates to help you succeed, just as much as they are relying on you.
