Short term and long term I have a lot planned for myself.

 

When I think short term I think of the next 12 months of my life. It may seem menial on the big scale of my life but the future, no matter how long, holds big possibilities. I hope to work solely in private events/catering to expand my skills, portfolio, and clientele.

 

"Long term goals" seems so vague; I have different goals for a year from now, five years from now, ten years from now, etc. Like many women I hope to have a career I love, a family that loves me, and a comfortable home for us. I don't know when I'll be able to settle down but I do know that in the next 2-3 years I will be getting married and moving to New Hampshire where we hope to find a farm to live on and grow all our own food. The ultimate goal is to open a waterfront cafe in Portsmouth, New Hampshire where I can be an executive pastry chef. Although I thoroughly enjoy working in a restaurant and doing dinner service I've worked under quite a few managers and chefs who regret that they didn't have more time with their children and family. Therefore I feel a cafe would do me justice.
