Summary

I'm seeking a position that will enable me to grow in my skills and knowledge as well as challenge me to strengthen the skills I already have a strong foundation in. I'm passionate about delivering good quality food of a high standard, while keeping my composure and attention to detail. I care for the customer, guest, friend or family member receiving anything I've played a part in creating, and a positive experience is what I strive to achieve. I also enjoy working in a team environment and take pride in supporting those senior to me, or mentoring those fresh to kitchen environments.
