About
I am friendly and polite, cookery is my passion, and I enjoy seeing the finished products to a high standard. I have been studying and working in hospitality and catering for 7 years and I work well as part of a team but can use my initiative to work alone when required. I can follow instructions clearly and work in set timeframes. I have mild autistic spectrum disorder but am very hardworking and like being with others.
