Jourdain Overman-Cox

As a current pastry arts student at Delgado Community College, I've cultivated a solid foundation of skills and technical knowledge in traditional pastry making, cake decorating, and bread baking. I'm always searching for new opportunities to hone my skills, grow as a chef, and work with fellow passionate people in the kitchen.
