While a master’s student, Leigh Orleans ’24 shared her personal experience and genuine advice about CIA’s Wine and Beverage Management graduate program.
Leigh Orleans is an alum of CIA’s master’s in Wine and Beverage Management program. While building a career as a private chef—and competing on Season 22 of Hell’s Kitchen: The American Dream—Leigh decided to pursue her master’s degree in wine to take her career even further.
During a social media takeover, Leigh took us through a day in the life of a CIA master’s student. She shared details and content from the Napa Valley residencies, program curriculum, and gave us a close-up look at the wine tasting kits provided for at-home learning.
Leigh also discussed how, with the careful execution of time management skills and the flexibility of CIA’s asynchronous online learning format, she managed to film a reality show, maintain her career, and thrive in her master’s education studies—that’s life/work balance.
