Summary

After working as a chef at the Michelin starred The River Café for the last year, I’m looking for a new role within the food industry.
From my time there I’ve learnt a great deal about seasonal Italian cooking in both their pastry and main-kitchen. Collaborating with a team of 30 chefs and serving over 200 guests each service has given me a great foundation in managing various personalities, while under intense time pressure.
My experience on super-yachts and in other Michelin starred kitchens, has massively added to my passion and knowledge of food and cooking. Since graduating culinary school, the last year and half have taught me the importance of retaining excellent standards and the need to keep learning and challenging myself in order to reach my potential.
