Intern Story: Growing up, Sisma experienced violence, negativity, and abuse, which affected her focus in school and her connections with others.

Through it all, cooking was a form of escape. As Sisma mastered new recipes, studied the work of famous chefs, and prepared Thanksgiving dinner for her family, she found something to strive for: Sisma wanted to become a professional chef. 

During her Sprouts internship, Sisma will work alongside Chef Katie at Greens Restaurant to turn her passion for cooking into a career. We cannot wait for Sisma to flourish with the support of a kitchen family and the mentorship of a seasoned chef.
