Sereeta – Culinary Arts Graduate

December 11, 2017

“UPO helped me to better formalize my resume. To be outspoken, confident within myself, being able to speak to any and everyone. It also helped me to finish my culinary arts studies that I wanted to learn as far as food handling and all of that. It also brought me a lot of new friends and family. I’m really enjoying the UPO staff, they really took me in under their wing. It means a lot. It turned my whole life around. I’ve got something to do with myself on an every day basis. It makes me feel more comfortable in myself.”

Sereeta is a 2015 graduate of our Culinary Arts training program. She now works full-time in the kitchen at United Medical Center. She is on the path to self-sufficiency. She is UPO!
