ABOUT ME
I have a deep passion for the food industry, shaped by my upbringing in a family restaurant owned by my father. Surrounded by a diverse culinary culture from a young age, I’ve developed a keen appreciation for various cuisines. Currently, I’m based in Australia, where I’ve spent the past six months working and exploring. My travels have also taken me to Hawaii, Africa, and across Europe, enriching my global perspective. Outside of work, I’m an avid fan of rugby, football, and all things Lord of the Rings.
