Kingston, Ontario, Canada

Currently I work busy weekend nights. I ensure every dish I prepare is of premium quality and presentation within a reasonable timeframe. I prep ingredients for service by reviewing recipes and creating dish components from scratch for a primarily East Asian fusion menu with many vegan/vegetarian options (Bao buns, braised pork, shiitake wontons, dessert specials and more. When scheduled I complete closing tasks within a timely manner and maintain a sanitary kitchen. I ensure safety standards are met throughout the day in compliance with local food safety organizations. When given the opportunity, I help to research and develop menu items for seasonal specials or events. My favourite part of the job is helping the BOH team create unique and satiating meals for staff daily.

Algonquin Highlands, Ontario, Canada

I spent my summers between school semesters working at a grill-style restaurant in Algonquin Park. Located at the busiest entrance to the backcountry, this busy restaurant constantly had all 150 seats filled and a long line for takeout. I ensured premium food quality and presentation and adhered to a strict turnover time. I completed and delegated prep tasks, keeping in mind the urgency and time management for each task. Most nights I closed the restaurant with a small team, always within a timely manner and to the highest sanitation standards.

Peterborough, Ontario, Canada

In the last year of my degree, I had an incredible opportunity to work at a popular deli in downtown Peterborough, serving premium soups, salads, and sandwiches. I learned about smoking and curing different kinds of meats, all of which were sources from one of the last abattoirs that sell directly to consumers left in Ontario. I was able to help develop and make daily soup specials and learned some delicious recipes for various Eastern European delicacies (Borsh, corned beef, beet salad, and lots more). On occasion, I would serve tables and take orders due to the front-facing nature of the service provided.
