Diving into WSET Level 3

As I mentioned last week, I started the WSET Level 3 course. Many of the suppositions I made about the program were correct.

I am one of the older (although not the oldest) person in the class. It doesn't bother me. I assumed many of the students would be younger.
Many of the students work in the food and beverage industry. That's a no brainer. As a food blogger, I'm on the very fringe of that industry, which is fine with me.
There is a lot to learn.

My fourth role, although my newest, is in some ways the one I have had for the longest period of time. I'm a student. Again. I always like to think of myself as a lifelong learner, but in this case I'm taking an actual course. Tomorrow I attend my first class in the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Level 3 certification course.

Where, why, and how did this wine education begin? I'll start with the easy part- where. In September 2017 my husband I traveled

My Current Roles- Part 3

There's a clown in every group.

Next month marks the two year anniversary for my third role, which is at Wasabi Ventures Stables.

My Current Roles- Part 2

For the past three and a half years, the role of Program Director at Wasabi Ventures Academy was what filled the majority of my workweek. Now, I've rearranged my schedule and, as such, have made this role a smaller part of my day.

This role has been an interesting one for me. When I was first offered the position, I wasn't sure that it was the right fit for me. What did I know about working with startup founders? Would I be good at getting entrepreneurs to

My Current Roles- Part 1

I figured if I'm going to return to blogging more about work and life, I might as well start by writing about all of the hats that I wear. To give it some sort of order, I've decided to write them in a chronological order. Thus, out of all the roles I hold, the role of Chief Foodie and Recipe Creator at Think Tasty is the one I've had the longest.

Ah, my dear PeKu. I havenâ€™t written here in almost two and a half years. During that time I put PeKu on the back burner while I focused more on my role as Program Director at Wasabi Ventures Academy. During these past 30 months I even took a little time off from Think Tasty. That lasted only six months before I was craving time cooking in the kitchen and writing about it.Â

So, here I am writing for the corporate base of my publishing company again. Why?
