Chef and owner with extensive breakfast, catering, and food-safety experience from remote camps to university kitchens.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a kitchen role where I can lead breakfast service, keep quality consistent, and support a team with strong food-safety practices. I enjoy high-volume cooking, baking, and catering-ready prep, and I’m ready to step in wherever needed.

I’m a Chef and Owner with a strong focus on high-volume breakfast service, consistent prep, and dependable execution during busy rushes. I’ve created and managed menu offerings, including breakfast service, while keeping the kitchen clean, stocked, and ready for anything from daily rushes to large functions.

Across remote camps and high-demand settings, I built complete breakfast programs and delivered daily baking—cookies, cakes, squares, muffins, and more—while also preparing lunches, sandwiches, salads, and using leftovers creatively. At U.B.C., I advanced as a First Cook/Grill Cook, handling customer orders directly, completing pre/post shift backups, and producing temperature charts, production sheets, and order tallies.

I bring culinary training (a four-year apprenticeship under a Swiss Chef) plus strong food safety habits: proper storage, labeling, rotation, and the use of required protective equipment. I’m also comfortable covering stations as needed and communicating clearly with teammates to keep service smooth.
