Summary

Growing up as a kid watching people working with food as it was some kind of art form, using their creativity and imagination to create a dish and build a completed meal, it motivated me towards being a professional chef and work in the hospitality industry. Despite several challenges, I never let passion towards culinary arts fade away. I always crave for best opportunities and challenging responsibilities while being punctual, loyal and professional.
