Summary

I am very hardworking and am always willing to learn new skills. My passion for food really drove me to become the best chef I possibly could, and now I would like to find a passion for something else. I am well presented and have high standards for cleanliness of myself and my workspace. I am well organised and can work under stress whilst still performing to a high standard.
