Francisco Rivera

 Francisco graduated from Dunbar Senior High School in 2007. He participated in various Brainfood programs throughout his high school career including Brainfood After School, Summer Institute and a Brainfood Internship. He received a degree in professional cooking from Baltimore International College. Francisco started his culinary career at a few local restaurants here in DC and has spent most of his time at Boundary Stone. He is happy to be connected with Brainfood again, this time, as a part of the staff because he truly wants to give back to the program that helped him find his passion for cooking. Francisco believes, “Brainfood provides an outlet for creativity and a safe environment for youth to build character, friendships, and memories through cooking.”
