Calista Martin

I’m a passionate and motivated individual, with the ability to remain calm under pressure. I take responsibility for making sure everyone around me is safe and comfortable. I’m currently working 2 days a week as a Kitchen Assistant, making fresh café food and homemade breads and sweet treats.

This has given me valuable cooking skills and I have learnt basic cooking techniques, as well as detailed recipes. I’m an excellent team player and am willing to help colleagues when required. I’m seeking a part time role in the catering industry, where I can continue building my cookery skills, increase my knowledge and am happy to undergo extensive training to achieve my goal.
