Summary

Trained Chef and Pastry Chef looking to branch out and change careers. I believe the skills I've acquired from hospitality make me able to adapt to any work environment. I'm a punctual, fast learner, willing to put in the effort to learn and grow my skillset.

I've worked in fast paced, high pressure environments with various hazards and learned how to manage myself and others in those environments.
