Please provide a background on yourself (how you got started, your journey to where you are now). | I was born in Venezuela and came to Australia in 2011 to follow my dreams of becoming a successful chef. When I arrived in Australia, I studied English for one year, and then got an accreditation in Hospitality. While I was studying, I supported myself and my family by working as a cleaner. After completing my studies, I began working in some of the most highly regarded restaurants in Adelaide, including Windy Point and Jamie’s Italian. |
