What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic kitchen environment where I can leverage my culinary skills and leadership experience.

I am a dedicated culinary professional with over 12 years of experience in the gastronomy sector, specializing in food preparation and kitchen management. My journey began at Jose Al's Uncle Bar & Grill, where I honed my skills in creating exquisite à la carte dishes and collaborating on innovative weekly menus. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my meticulous attention to detail in food presentation and my ability to maintain high hygiene and safety standards in the kitchen.

Throughout my career, I have taken on various roles, from a Pizza Maker at Antony's Coal Fired Pizza to a Kitchen Manager at Sub City Hollywood. In these positions, I developed strong leadership skills, effectively training and guiding kitchen staff while ensuring the smooth operation of food preparation processes. My experience has equipped me with the ability to work efficiently in fast-paced environments, prioritize tasks, and foster a collaborative team atmosphere.

I am motivated by the opportunity to contribute my culinary expertise and passion for food to a dynamic, high-performance kitchen. I am eager to join a team where I can continue to grow professionally while delivering exceptional dining experiences.
