🌟 Meet Terrence Saulny, M.S. PLPC! 🌟 We’re excited to spotlight Terrence Saulny, our dedicated Career Readiness Coordinator at Liberty’s Kitchen. Terrence, a native of New Orleans and graduate of St. Augustine High School, holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Clark Atlanta University and a Master of Science in Counseling from Xavier University of Louisiana. He is a Provisioned Licensed Professional Counselor (PLPC) in Louisiana. With over 15 years of experience, Terrence is passionate about seeing the youth of New Orleans achieve their goals. As our Career Readiness Coordinator, he teaches our trainees transferable skills, preparing them for the workforce. Both community professionals and youth have recognized Terrence's extraordinary commitment to helping individuals succeed. We’re proud to have Terrence on our team!

🌟 Meet Clarence! 🌟 Clarence is an 18-year-old YDP trainee making a splash at Liberty's Kitchen. He discovered his passion for cooking in middle school, influenced by his dad's love for cooking and a formative experience at Dooky Chase. Clarence’s proudest moments include graduating high school, landing his first job at 16 at a sno-ball stand, and, most recently, successfully spatchcocking a chicken. He was also named "Star of the Week" in his first week at Liberty's Kitchen. His advice for new trainees? “Listen to everything they tell you; everyone is rooting for you. Don’t take constructive feedback personally. You get back what you put in. Be conscientious, help others, be a good person, and be a team player.” Clarence aims to one day become an executive chef and own a restaurant or food truck. He wants to travel the world to cook on every continent, with Canada as his dream destination for its beautiful scenery. Clarence has overcome barriers with the support of mentors on the Liberty's Kitchen team who have provided valuable guidance and encouragement. When he’s not in the kitchen, Clarence plays football, enjoys spending time with his friends, sleeping, taking walks, playing video games, cooking at home, and listening to music, especially artists like Mariah Carey, Lil Skies, and YoungBoy. Set to graduate in August 2024, Clarence plans to work at a restaurant or hotel to gain more experience in culinary and hospitality. His mantras are to finish what you start and always go above and beyond. We’re proud of Clarence and all his progress! #SuccessStory #YDPJourney #Community
