What I'm looking for

I am seeking a leadership culinary role where I can manage kitchen operations, develop teams, design menus, and oversee large-scale catering with growth opportunities.

I am an adaptable culinary professional with extensive hands-on experience as a banquet chef and sous chef across resort, club, and catering environments. I excel in menu development, recipe standardization, grilling, smoking, sauce making, and kitchen cost control while maintaining high food safety standards.

Throughout my career I've managed teams of up to 11–30 members, coordinated large events, and supported daily kitchen operations including ordering, inventory management, and quality assurance. I am certified in multiple food-safety credentials and have a background in production planning and private-chef work.

I bring a strong work ethic, leadership in high-pressure kitchens, and a focus on training and developing staff to deliver consistent, high-quality dining experiences. I am willing to relocate and authorized to work in the U.S.
