Ms. Coughlin grew up in Davenport, Iowa - right alongside the Mississippi River. She attended college at the University of Northern Iowa and received her B.A. in Music Education in 2005. During her time at Northern Iowa, Ms. Coughlin performed with a variety of different ensembles ranging from Symphonic Orchestra to Woodwind Quintets. She spent a semester abroad in London, England where she performed there with the Barnet Symphony Orchestra, as well as the Middlesex University performing ensembles.
After college, Ms. Coughlin taught middle school band in Geneva, Illinois for 4 years. An interesting series of events followed - which lead to culinary school! Ms. Coughlin had always enjoyed baking and pastry, so she decided to attend culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Pasadena, CA; earning a Certificate in Baking and Pastry. She's worked in some amazing kitchens, lead by such chefs as Gordon Ramsay, Cat Cora, and Curtis Stone. Every year she assists Crumble Catering with the EJAF Academy Awards Viewing Party - hosted by Elton John!
But, her heart has always been with teaching, and is currently greatly enjoying the students, faculty, administration, staff and parents of South Pasadena Unified School District.
In her spare time, Ms. Coughlin enjoys: baking, movies, her two cats Bean and Kiwi, quality time with friends and family, and, of course...practicing!
