Kangmin An

West Ryde,Australia

Summary

Hello, my name is Kangmin Ahn. Since I was often home alone during childhood, I started cooking for myself. Over time, I found great joy in cooking and began sharing meals with friends. Their happy expressions gave me a strong sense of fulfillment that continues to drive my passion today. Through my job at Royal Lounge Dining, I learned essential kitchen operations, from cleaning and inventory to cooking techniques. I realized my strength is creating a positive work atmosphere, while my weakness is being emotionally affected by others. However, reading a book called "Be Kind, But Don't Get Hurt" helped me grow stronger emotionally. I am confident in my ability to quickly adapt to new environments and contribute to any kitchen team. Even in challenging situations, I remain resilient and approach every opportunity with confidence.
