I am highly motivated to refine my culinary skills, master advanced techniques, and contribute to a kitchen that values precision, creativity, and excellence. Having worked in professional kitchens since the age of 14, I have developed a deep appreciation for the discipline, teamwork, and artistry that define high-level gastronomy. I seek opportunities that will challenge and inspire me, pushing me to continuously improve and bring value to the team. I am particularly drawn to restaurants that prioritize ingredient quality, technique, and unique culinary experiences. My ambition is to gain international experience in a demanding, professional kitchen where I can learn from top chefs, expand my expertise, and eventually contribute to the evolution of modern gastronomy.

I am eager to bring my skills and experience to your team, learning from your expertise while contributing my knowledge in ingredient selection, culinary trends, and high-level kitchen operations.
