Summary

I am a qualified Pastry Chef. I completed my training in Edinburgh, and have been working in the hospitality industry for over 20 years. I love to work in the pastry section, and have enjoyed many different venues from Michellin Stared Restaurants, French Patisseries, 5 Star Hotels, and many great restaurants including my my own business. I have just arrived from New Zealand and looking forward to seeing where the next challenge lives.

I am a hard working, efficient, self motivated, reliable and friendly person!
