Colette Corkery of West Oneonta, N.Y. has graduated summa cum laude from the State University of New York Agricultural and Technical College at Delhi with an Associate Degree in Culinary Arts.
Colette, 19, daughter of Sarah Fieg Corkery and Kevin Corkery, has enrolled at Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio, a Catholic school, where she is seeking a degree in business management. She will matriculate in the fall.
Colette has been cooking since even before adolescence, and has posted instructional videos on the Internet. She has not yet decided what to do with her degree, but the culinary arts and business background will help her to hit the ground running when that time comes.
"Her cookies are a big hit in the family at holidays or any time," said proud grandfather, Greg Fieg. Colette's grandmother is Jacqueline Powell McAdams. Her great-grandparents are the late Frank and Marina Fieg and the late Mabel and James Powell.
In March 2020, Colette was initiated into the Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society.
She is currently employed in the kitchen at Bella Michael's Restaurant, 57 River St. in Oneonta where she prepares Italian cuisine.
