I am an undergraduate student at University College Birmingham, trying to obtain my desired degree in Culinary Art Management. I am passionate about food and curious about how far I will go to become a chef and run my own restaurant.
I have one year of experience in a professional kitchen and the front of the house. I am optimistic, confident, and hard-working, capable of working as part of a motivated team or independently adopting a practical approach using my initiative. Trustworthy and reliable with excellent communication skills, a pleasant personality, and a friendly approach. Able to prioritise and engage at all levels effectively. I am always keen to learn new skills and strive to progress.
