What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic kitchen environment that fosters creativity and growth, where I can further develop my culinary skills and contribute to exceptional dining experiences.

I am a results-driven and ambitious chef with a solid culinary education and training in various cuisines. My experience spans from working as a Demi Chef De Partie to a Private Chef, where I consulted with clients to create customized meal plans that cater to their dietary needs. I pride myself on sourcing high-quality ingredients and adhering to strict food health and safety regulations while preparing meals in clients' kitchens.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in fine dining and presentation, ensuring that every dish not only meets but exceeds expectations. My time as a Pastry Chef allowed me to manage pastry inventory and produce a variety of baked goods for large-scale events, showcasing my ability to work under pressure while maintaining a positive attitude. I am dedicated to continuously developing my skills and knowledge in the culinary field.
