Summary

Cooking is my biggest passion, I have had multiple years of experience in a variety of kitchen settings as well my own home. I am capable of adapting to fast past environments, handling tasks given to me, cooperating with other staff and keeping my work to a high quality. I am planning to continue on this pathway by completing a commercial cookery course next year.
