Passionate about cooking and baking with the ability to create new items, I have worked as a bakery worker for several years. During this time, I have learnt to follow instructions and keep a uniform working style while maintaining my individuality and creating different bakery items. I am punctual, dedicated and very focused and I dream of becoming an experienced chef someday. For this dream, I can work in challenging and tough situations to improve my style and skill. I wish to be able to achieve my goal through hard work and learning.

Interesting Work
St. Valentine's Day
I was part of the Wellington Cafe Team that took part in the Valentine's Fair in 2011. We made different bakery items according to the theme and colors of the Fair. I remained at work for the whole week before the Fair to prepare for it. I was given a bonus for my services.

As a student I participated in several bake sales and it was these sales that made me consider bakery work as a profession.
