Summary

I have been a Professional Chef for the past 20 years and have worked in many Culturally and Religiously diverse Kitchen Environments.

The experience I have acquired through catering have made me focused, dedicated, hard working and skilled in problem-solving and time management.
I am of Torres Strait Islander descent and I take great pride in working independently, to achieve daily targets and also enjoy working within a team

creating positive friendships with others through clear communication and understanding.
