Summary

I have spent years cultivating the experience and necessary skills in Australia that does not only translate in the food I prepare but also the people I work with. Acquired extensive knowledge about the food industry and ready to take on a different role in contributing towards the industry. I also understand that customer or client satisfaction as well as quality assurance plays a vital role in growing a business.

I have experience in all types of venues in the hospitality industry both front of house and back of house. Now that I am back in Malaysia for good, I feel that it is my duty to bring back all of the knowledge and skills acquired overseas and help in growing Malaysian businesses as well as the economy.
