“I am a professionally trained chef and have been interested in cooking since I was about 5 years old. I majored in Culinary Arts and Clinical Nutrition/Dietetics at Johnson & Wales University. This is my 7th year teaching at Roxbury High School, and I am the Class of 2027 advisor. Outside of school I enjoy traveling, hiking, trying new recipes, and spending time with my dog, Luna, who I rescued last year!”

“Ms.OBratis has a good sense of humor which makes her class enjoyable. She is also very supportive and is always there to help if you find any recipes or instructions unclear” – Jada Scalfani
