Summary

I have experience working in Asian cuisine, especially with wok cooking and supporting sushi preparation. I’ve also worked as a junior baker and helped with general food prep. I enjoy learning, working as part of a team, and always try to do my job with care, cleanliness, and respect for ingredients. I follow instructions closely and do my best to keep a good pace while maintaining quality.
