ICE CREAM DREAMS CONSULTING

Prior to opening my own ice cream shop, I have experienced both the academic and corporate worlds. I have a doctorate degree in Food Science and Technology with a minor in dairy and microbiology from Michigan State University. I ate a lot of chocolate cheese and ice cream from the campus dairy store -- little did I know that this was the beginning of my getting hooked on ice cream. I continued in the academic world by journeying to Rutgers University where I was an assistant professor in the Food Science Department. That's where I got my love of teaching! From there I entered the corporate world of RJ Reynolds Tobacco's Research and Development department. I was hoping to get into the food research department with Nabisco. It was spun off, so I took my corporate experience and started my own business - Blue Ridge Ice Creams - started in 1988, sold the business and became a full-time consultant in 2015.
