Summary
I am an experienced, driven, and skilled kitchen assistant with excellent all-round food preparation and catering expertise. I am very capable and have a track record of dealing with all kitchen and culinary related issues, as well as proven ability to react in areas that require immediate attention and ensuring that all food is always presented to the highest possible standards. I am ambitious and seeking to continually broaden knowledge of food, cutting edge cuisine, and overall event presentation. Currently I am looking for a new position, one which will make best use of my existing catering skills and experience and also further my personal and professional development.
