Summary

I am a dedicated chef with over 4 years of experience in the hospitality industry, having specialized in Indian, Continental, South Indian, and Indo-Chinese cuisines. I attained my Bachelor of Hotel Management qualification from IHM Shri Shakti and also working on my Master of Hospitality and Management course with the University of South Florida. It was a pleasure to be associated with top brands like Plaza Premium Group, Encalm Services, and Novotel, and I also presently work on a part-time basis for Aramark. I was awarded the "Best Employee of the Month" twice, which is a reflection of my working attitude, culinary skills, and strong commitment to providing top-class guest satisfaction.
