Mentor/Student stories
I got to know Myrna through my son’s time at École Ducasse, and right from the start, I felt a deep sense of comfort knowing she was there. My son had just left Lebanon during a tough time and was starting a new chapter in a country where he didn’t even speak the language. As a parent, that was incredibly hard, but Myrna quickly became the person I leaned on whenever I had concerns or questions.
She was more than a guide — she was a calming voice, a steady hand, and someone who truly cared. She made sure my son had the support, direction, and encouragement he needed, and for that, I’ll always be grateful. Her presence made all the difference during a time when we needed it most.
Mirna is a rare combination of integrity, precision, and empathy. She delivers results without ever compromising human connection. A trusted mentor and steady leader who inspires confidence and loyalty in everyone she works with.
Mirna doesn’t just coach — she inspires. Her empathy, precision, and talent for guidance turn uncertainty into clear direction and confidence. A true catalyst for growth and success.
I would just like to thank miss Mirna and as for future students I would like to say this is really a hard yet inspiring journey. With a combination of great vision and hard work we really have power to shape our future however we want. God bless.
I am so glad I got to know her through Ecole Ducasse,and really value our friendship/
mentorship we built along the way!
To all the future students,good luck! sure it will be a rewarding and fulfilling journey!
Just a big thank you for all your support. I carry with me the memory of a truly wonderful person to whom I’m deeply grateful for her guidance. That feeling of distance and uncertainty one experiences when arriving in a foreign country was eased thanks to Mirna.
I was 17 when I first came to Paris.Everything was new- country,language, people , and no one to guide me. I was like a headless chicken trying to find my way through visa procedures, house hunting, internships, career counselling, and wish I had a service like “Your 360 degree compass”,to guide me through the chaos.
And now with Mirna launching it, I’m sure it’ll be a success. I know this because she is very dedicated. I met mirna in my first year of Ecole ducasse where she was in charge of internships and placements.
I was so nervous for the internships but I knew that she had our backs. She was truly invested in it. For Mirna it was not just a job but a passion to help sincere students find their way. Even after she left Ecole Ducasse, she continues to devote her time to help her students.I’m very glad to know her, and I truly wish her the very best in this wonderful journey.
Before coming to school i heard about Mirna! A Dynamic person. She enjoys helping students, she’s the perfect example of a career coach. Thanks to her I directly found a great internship and directly started working in the Ducasse Group. I Highly recommend her!!!
Madame Mirna has taught me more about the kitchen life than many chefs. She has helped me go through tough times, she never let me give up, she saw the potential in me and tried to harness it. She always gave her interest and made this career her life. I am very grateful and I strongly recommend Madame Mirna as a career coach for hospitality
the mentoring received from Ms. Mirna was really helpful as a a new student in france. i was lucky the school had her as our coach, during my education
Working with Mirna El Gemayel has been a truly valuable experience for me as an international student. Her guidance and coaching helped me understand the pastry internship better and feel more confident in a new environment. She was patient, supportive, and always ready to answer my questions, which made adapting much easier. Thanks to her, I was able to grow both personally and professionally during my internship.
Working with Mirna El Gemayel has been an incredibly valuable part of my professional journey. She provided me with excellent leads when I was searching for my first internship in France and offered unwavering support during the ups and downs of my second internship. Even in large classroom settings, Mirna gave individualized attention to each student, always seeing the unique potential in everyone.
During my time at École Ducasse, I had the pleasure of working with Mirna, who leads the internship department and serves as a career coach for international students in France. Her support was instrumental throughout my internship journey—from fine-tuning my CV and cover letters to offering strategic, personalized guidance on interviews and navigating the local job market.
What truly sets Mirna apart is her strong character and decisive mindset. She’s someone who makes things happen—reactive, solution-oriented, and always ready to step in when challenges arise, whether it’s resolving issues with chefs or supporting students through difficult moments. She has a clear vision and a genuine passion for this industry, which shows in the way she’s constantly pushing the program forward and striving to improve the student experience.
Thanks to her expertise, energy, and network, I felt well-prepared and supported every step of the way. I’m sincerely grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend her to any student seeking career guidance and real-world insight into the hospitality world.
