Madalynn started taking Culinary Arts classes at KCKCC as a sophomore at Basehor-Linwood High School. Madalynn says, “Since I was little, I've always watched cooking and baking shows. I'd pretend to be one of the kids on Master Chef Junior when helping my mom with dinner. As I've grown older, I've really tried achieving my dream to become a Baker. I've pushed myself to become better joining culinary competitions both as a team and an individual.” After graduating high school in 2022, Madalynn continued her classes at KCKCC and plans to finish her Culinary Arts certificate in December of this year. Madalynn strives to become culinarian of the semester before she graduates. She wants to set an example for other students and inspire them to exceed even their own expectations. Madalynn currently works as a Bakery Intern at Butterfields Bakery & Market and hopes to continue working there upon graduating. Christine Bio coming.
