Summary
I am a dedicated worker with a keen interest in food and cooking, complemented by a good knowledge of health and hygiene.
Having worked my way up over several years with my current employer, I am now ready to take on a bigger challenge, and begin my journey to becoming a professional chef. I have a real thirst to learn and gain the necessary skills for a career in kitchens.
I have excellent communication skills, effective time management, and the ability to work independently or as part of a team. Proficient in customer service, cash handling, and till operation, supported by a full, clean driving licence.
