Get to know me better
I am a diligent and dedicated chef based in Melbourne, driven by a passion for culinary excellence.
I am an experienced and passionate chef based in Melbourne, with a strong background in both fine dining and catering environments. My culinary journey has seen me work in several renowned kitchens across the city, where I have honed my skills and developed a deep appreciation for quality ingredients and creative food preparation.
I worked at a two chef's hat restaurant in the city where I assist in preparing high-quality dishes, collaborate closely with my colleagues, and maintain strict adherence to food safety and sanitation guidelines. My role involves overseeing kitchen operations, training junior staff, and contributing to inventory management. This position allows me to apply my culinary expertise while also taking on leadership responsibilities.
Previously, I have worked as a Chef at a st kilda hotel, where I gained experience in diverse cooking techniques, such as grilling, sautéing, and baking. I was also involved in the preparation of mise en place and ensuring that the kitchen ran smoothly during service, all while maintaining a high standard of cleanliness in accordance with HACCP guidelines.
In addition, I have worked as a Cook at a catering club where I was responsible for creating customised meals for sports teams, focusing on macro meals designed to meet dietary needs and enhance performance. This experience taught me how to adapt my cooking to meet specific nutritional requirements, ensuring a balance of taste and health benefits.
I completed my formal culinary training at Le Cordon Bleu Melbourne, where I earned my Diploma in Hospitality (Cert 3 & Cert 4). During my time at Le Cordon Bleu, I gained a strong foundation in culinary techniques, food safety, and kitchen management, and I continually apply these principles in my professional work. My studies, combined with hands-on experience, have shaped my approach to cooking, blending technical expertise with a passion for creative culinary expression
