Summary
Passionate, knowledgeable, and motivated about hospitality, a field in which I have been expanding my expertise throughout the past 2+ years. I have some experience with the bar and extensive experience in the culinary department. I have worked as a part-time assistant cook and then as a full-time commis and eventually demi-chef at one of Amsterdam's leading luxury hotels.
