Summary

Adaptable and fast-learning culinary professional with a strong work ethic and proven ability to perform under pressure—particularly during peak service periods with high order volumes. With four years of experience in Japan working in both kitchen and front-of-house roles, I bring a well-rounded understanding of restaurant operations, strong teamwork, and effective cross-departmental communication.

In Australia, I have gained valuable experience working in Vietnamese restaurants (Saigon Express and Cyclo Moonah) for approximately nine months, and I am currently employed at Wrest Point. My role at Wrest Point has given me the opportunity to work flexibly across multiple kitchen sections—including Production, Banquets & Conferences, Longhorn Smokehouse, Canteen, and Boardwalk Bistro—further expanding my culinary skills and enabling me to adapt quickly to new environments and team dynamics. I am committed to upholding high standards of hygiene, professionalism, and food quality in every aspect of my work.
