Paolo Uccheddu

Kangaroo Island,SA

Summary

My name is Paolo Uccheddu, and I am Italian, with many years of experience in the kitchen. I have worked in various types of restaurants, which have given me a broad range of skills and adaptability.
I really enjoy working in a team, and I believe that collaboration is essential. I have no problem delegating tasks, teaching junior staff, and organizing my work and their duties when needed. I am an easygoing person, and very enthusiastic about my work.

I like to work in a healthy environment because I think a good balance among colleagues is key to providing great service to customers. I am always excited to learn new things and techniques in the culinary field.

I consider myself serious, responsible, and reliable, which I believe are important qualities in a busy kitchen.
