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-in-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.
