About
From a young age, I have always been passionate about two things: food and communicating with people! Being born and raised in a country with rich culinary history and diverse culture (Nepal) helped me realize early on that food is a strong tool that brings people together. So, I decided to pursue my dreams of working in the hospitality and tourism industry.
With a diploma in hospitality and commercial cooking from Australia, I have been able to work and gain experience in the service industry in both Australia and Nepal. In my previous roles, I have a proven track record of improving the customer experience and achieving high levels of customer satisfaction. Currently, I am based in Canada and am looking to work and learn about the hospitality and tourism industry in Canada.
