Amy (Lynn) KoralThrough a solid belief in herself and unwavering encouragement from her support system, Penn College alumna Amy (Lynn) Koral boldly quit a bakery job to become a full-time personal chef and business owner. Koral – who earned an associate degree in baking and pastry arts in 2014 and founded Cherished Meals in Oregon four years later – discusses the rewards of preparing meals and restoring her clients' valuable time in the process. "It happened very organically, and I’m so happy to be cooking healthy meals for people each week," she writes in a blog posting. "I love making people’s lives easier and filling their refrigerators with homemade, nourishing meals."
