Pursue your dreams and never give up. My career as a Chef has become my life and passion. My week consists of mental stress and 12-hour shifts, but I say it every day, "I love my fucking job.” How a fat kid loves cakes, is how I love all foods; And that drove me to want to become a chef.

My parents were never approving of me becoming a Chef, they thought of it a lesser occupation. But at the end of the day, I decided that my life was mine and I would have to live by my decisions.

I have grown as an individual and learnt so much more about other cultures and different people from all around the world being in the hospitality industry and because of these interactions I have learnt how to communicate and connect with people now on a different level.
