A young Chef always dreams of creating their own menu. I knew it was the right opportunity for me to pursue. It would be a dream come true to even be seriously considered for this position of Chef. It would mean all my hard work was paying off.

I spent some time early in my life looking for a best hotel school. My time at school helped me learn and focus on what I really wanted to do with my life: cook. Throughout school, besides attending business classes, I grew my hobby into my passion.

I moved to a great opportunity when the time was right. The chance to work and create in a kitchen at a real restaurant was too intriguing to pass up. Though I wasn’t creating the menu by any means, my position at Villa de sankomota international allowed me to do the next best thing. It prepared me for the work and desire it takes to create and run a menu, and I learned that the best dishes often come from tweaks to original plans.

This is the chance I have been waiting for since leaving school early and seeking out my passion of cooking. Even before getting started, I know every test meal will not be a hit. However, I can promise that every piece of food that makes it to the customers will be my best effort.

I worked for 5 star restaurant, premier hotel Pretoria and 224 hotel. Late last year I worked for fifa world cup in qatar. 

I studied at International Hotel School Pretoria, my culinary arts diploma with city and guilds and CTH
