Passionate about food and cooking, I bring a fun, loving, and bubbly personality to the kitchen. My creativity shines through as I enjoy creating both new and traditional dishes. I have honed my skills in working effectively, efficiently, and under pressure. I am flexible and available to work any day of the week, at any shift, and for long hours. My ultimate goal is to achieve customer satisfaction and witness the joy that an excellent meal can bring. Currently employed as a kitchen manager at Oceania Healthcare in Stoke, Nelson, I am known for being hardworking, adaptable, and possessing good communication skills. I maintain a high standard of Health & Safety and have experience in HACCP certification, demonstrating my excellent food handling and preparation skills. My career began as a chef at the Hexagon International Hotel, where I further developed my creativity with food and gained extensive experience in fine dining. While excelling at working independently and following instructions, I also thrive as part of a team. I understand the importance of every team member in achieving successful teamwork. Providing excellent customer service is a priority for me, and I am committed to resolving customer issues with a strong sense of urgency. Time is valuable to me, so I have mastered the ability to carry out various tasks within tight timeframes. Working at Metlifecare – Retirement Village has provided me with knowledge of dietary requirements, allergies, and special diets such as puree food.
