Summary

During my time at Mercers Restaurant, I have gained a appreciation and love for the industry; I have been able to compete on a state level as well as a national level in cooking competitions with the ambition to be able to compete at more competitions in the future.


In my free time I enjoy being able to take myself outdoors, hiking, kayaking and rock climbing as well as being able to explore Melbourne's dining scene


I also run a small second hand clothing business at a range of Melbourne's market places.
