What I'm looking for

I seek a hospitality role where I can lead kitchen operations, develop menus, mentor staff, and contribute to high-quality guest experiences in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I am a dedicated hospitality and culinary professional with hands-on experience across kitchen operations, food production, pastry work, private catering, and supervisory roles. I trained at Kenya Utalii College and have applied my skills in hotels, lodges, catering companies, and private residences, consistently focusing on quality, hygiene, and guest satisfaction.

In supervisory and chef roles I have overseen daily kitchen operations, managed inventory and stock ordering, trained staff, and coordinated catering for events. My resume highlights measurable achievements such as menu development, quality control, winning a "best dessert" award, and earning Employee of the Year recognition.

I bring strong communication, problem-solving, and teamwork skills, fluency in English and Swahili, and basic French and German. I am adaptable, service-focused, and committed to continuous learning to improve processes and deliver consistent, high-quality culinary experiences.
