Summary

Food is not just food. It’s a form of communication, an international art form expressed and practiced by all cultures. As an artistic person food has always been a form of self-expression to me.

I would like to expand my creative mind and become a better chef. I am positive, driven and determined. I’m a hard worker and passionate about what I do.
