PhilippinesWhat I'm looking for
My name is Lael Jhun Diaz, and I am passionate about pursuing a career in the culinary arts. With a solid foundation in customer service and technical support, I have developed strong communication skills and the ability to work under pressure. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Inter-Cultural Studies, followed by a degree in Computer Science, which has equipped me with a unique perspective on problem-solving and teamwork.
Recently, I have dedicated myself to honing my culinary skills through a Diploma in Culinary Arts and practical training at Hama Japanese Cuisine. My experience includes working in various roles, from a cook in a family-owned restaurant to a technical support representative for a company serving truck drivers in North America. I am eager to bring my diverse background and passion for food to a dynamic kitchen environment, where I can contribute to creating memorable dining experiences.
