OBJECTIVES
Food and cooking are my passion and my forte; I pride myself on my work ethic and enjoy every second
spent in the kitchen. Every dish prepared is treated as a work of art, easy on the eye and fresh on the palate.
I aim to succeed at every goal set before me where my calm disposition and my attributes work best in a
pressurized environment. Being a chef means taking the initiative and creating experiences. New and
challenging experiences excite my taste buds and will be beneficial to any future employer and myself.
