CULINARY CAREER
I got into the culinary scene of Helsinki city by the hand of Restaurant School Perho. Although my intent continues to be expanding my expertise in the field of culinary arts, I developed a deep interest for business and event management that led me to enroll in university. Since summer 2018, I am studying my bachelor's degree in business at Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences, while I continue to perform as a chef at Restaurant Bronda.
As an energetic and enthusiastic professional, I constantly find myself thirsty for knowledge. Hence, I seek challenges to expand and develop further my competences. Through my engagement, I transmit my motivation in team organizations, making it a valuable asset.
My extended experience, education, good manners, sociability and internationality define me as a professional able to adapt to demanding situations.
