Having worked in the food industry since high school, Patty Nadzieja has spent the last 28 years in the classroom teaching at Paradise Valley High School. She has dedicated herself to advancing the Culinary Arts by instructing students, developing their skills, and most importantly, fostering a passion they can leverage into a career or simply enhance their personal lives.
