What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on culinary roles where I can apply high-volume cooking, train staff, maintain safety standards, and continue advancing my culinary skills.

I am a front-line chef with over 15 years of experience preparing and serving food across a variety of establishments, known for precise ingredient prep and consistent execution of recipes under high-volume conditions.

I have extensive experience in line and prep cooking, inventory management, staff training and supervision, and maintaining health and safety standards in kitchen operations, including serving up to 800 guests in camp settings.

I hold a Red Seal culinary certificate and additional certifications in Food Safety and First Aid, and I am committed to continuous learning and growing my expertise across all aspects of the culinary arts.
