Summary
I see myself as a reliable, fast, receptive, and well‑structured who is always interested in learning new things. During my training, I developed a particular fondness for meat dishes and for working with diverse cuisines.
I want not only to apply my practical skills but also to continuously develop and expand them. My long-term goal is to run my own restaurant. To achieve this, I am willing to travel the world and gain international experience that will broaden my perspective and enhance my culinary expertise.
