Summary
During my university studies, I focused on developing myself in all areas and worked in as many different kitchens as possible to improve my skills. I am a kitchen staff member who loves my job and is passionate about my profession. I am punctual, energetic, and a problem-solver in the kitchen. After graduating from university, I received an offer to work at Cheeca Lodge and Spa in Florida, where I worked as a cook in the East Asian restaurant. I developed my culinary skills at this hotel, and now I am looking forward to working again with a dynamic team.
