Aspiring Chef With Hands-On Experience
Nacka
Summary
Friendly and hardworking person with hands-on experience in restaurants, pop-up food stalls, and hotels. I’ve cooked a wide range of dishes including Korean, Asian, and Western food, and I’m comfortable working in both kitchens and front of house. I’ve also run my own small food business, so I understand how to handle everything from cooking and customer service to paperwork. I speak Korean and English, and I’m learning Swedish too. Currently looking for a job in London, where I can keep growing, learn from others, and be part of a good team.
