What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote or freelance food-related work in food content development, food and nutrition writing or research, menu development, and food costing.

I develop food products for private events, business functions, markets, and festivals, while coordinating ingredient requisitioning and day-to-day production. Previously, I owned Cakebar Namibia, where I developed gourmet confectionery and delivered more than 1,000 bespoke baked items.

My food and nutrition background combines a Bachelor of Consumer Science, culinary training in cooking and patisserie, and hospitality experience at Hilton Hotel & Country Club Resort.
