LCI Graduate Katelyn Easlick Shares Her Passion for Culinary Arts in the Classroom
South Louisiana native Katelyn Easlick grew up surrounded by cooking, with her family's passion for food shaping her early years. This deep-rooted interest led her to Louisiana Culinary Institute (LCI). Katelyn fondly remembers her time at LCI, particularly the hands-on approach of her instructors, which she now incorporates into her teaching.
After graduating, Katelyn worked at L'auberge, Baton Rouge Country Club, and LSU dining. Now, as a ProStart and baking teacher at Walker High School, she brings real-world experience to her students. "Teaching allows me to combine hands-on activities with lessons, helping students see the results immediately," she says.
Katelyn's journey from LCI graduate to dedicated educator highlights her love for both cooking and teaching, inspiring the next generation of culinary professionals.
