Food has always been a big part of my life, because my mom loved to cook delicious meals and my dad loved to whip up desserts. started working in a Chinese takeout restaurant at the age of 16. My professional food journey began when studied Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts at Silwood School of Cookery in 2017.

| later went on to become a recipe tester and developer for UCOOK SA before moving to the Garden Route and managing a chocolate cafe in the middle of the Outeniqua Forest. I’m also an experienced private chef that offers an in-house dining experience.
