About Me
I am extremely passionate about cooking, almost as much as I am about sport! I'm a fan of all sports & thrive on working as part of a high performing team. I'm responsible, a quick learner, proactive but always with a sense of fun. With proven experience I'm looking to expand my knowledge & practical skills in a challenging job that will allow me to grow in my chosen career and discover new tastes, cultures and team-mates.
