Summary

Through the years i have explored various fields of study and have found my interest in the field of food science. The work experience while selling insurance policies to customers helped me with my work at the front of house at Lucia's. Here i gained experience in the restaurant business in procurement, production, selling and WHS areas.

I am excited to work in the Food industry and keen to explore all areas of food production.
