About
I am a passionate and versatile chef with six years of experience in the yachting industry, having worked across private, charter, and expedition yachts. My culinary approach focuses on fresh, healthy, and nutritious meals that support an active lifestyle while delivering vibrant flavours and high-quality presentation. From provisioning and menu planning to accommodating diverse dietary needs, I take pride in crafting dishes that are both nourishing and indulgent. Beyond my professional experience at sea, I balance my time by immersing myself in yoga and nature. I spend part of the year in India, where I practice and assist in teaching yoga, deepening my understanding of wellness and mindfulness. My passion for health extends into my culinary work, and during my time in India, I have created a business focused on health-based, fermented, gut-friendly, and plant-based sweets and treats. This venture allows me to experiment with natural, wholesome ingredients while promoting well-being through food. In the kitchen, I am focused, professional, and efficient, ensuring smooth operations in high-pressure environments. At the same time, I bring a light and bubbly personality, a great sense of humour, and a genuine zest for life, making me a positive and uplifting presence in any team. I am now seeking a Crew Chef/Sous Chef role where I can bring my culinary expertise, passion for health-conscious cuisine, and dynamic energy to a motivated and vibrant team.

Hobbies & Interests
I have a deep passion for yoga, both practicing and teaching, as it keeps me physically and mentally balanced. I enjoy hiking and camping, immersing myself in nature and discovering scenic landscapes. Being outdoors rejuvenates me, whether it’s trekking through the mountains or unwinding by the ocean. I love spending quality time with friends, entertaining, and sharing good food and meaningful conversations. Reading is another passion, allowing me to continuously learn and explore different perspectives. I thrive on staying active, whether through fitness, adventure sports, or simply exploring new places and cultures. Traveling and experiencing different traditions, cuisines, and ways of life inspire me, broadening my outlook on the world. My hobbies reflect my love for adventure, connection, and personal growth.
