Intern’s Story: Jeanna grew up in San Francisco where she was raised by her grandmother who bonded with Jeanna and her little sister over home-cooked meals. After her grandmother’s passing, she turned to baking and cooking. With Sprouts’ Chef Training program, Jeanna is eager to gain professional experience in an art that has always inspired her. She hopes one day to have the skills and know-how needed to be able to support herself and her sister in the culinary industry.
