My Past

The Crown & Anchor Pub

May 2024 - Present

Kitchen Supervisor

I currently work as a chef at The Crown & Anchor Pub, where I am responsible for the preparation of multiple dishes and presenting these fresh dishes. I am in a supervisory role, where I am left in charge of others in the kitchen and oversee the pass. I also work regularly making food for the multiple private functions that the pub hosts, therefore am confident in my presentation of cold and hot buffet foods as well as running the pass.

Worked in finance.

McDonald’s

September 2019 - February 2020

Crew Member

I worked as a crew member at McDonald’s briefly, preparing food and cooking on the grill. It was a very busy environment and we often had large numbers of orders to process and prepare. Although not the most technically challenging food, I was able to learn how to manage multiple food orders and manage my time effectively to produce orders under strict time constraints.

During my time at The Dolphin, I worked in multiple different roles including supervising bar shifts, but also working in the kitchen during busy times. I would assist with various tasks in the kitchen such as making desserts and helping with some cooking.

Bede’s Prep School

Shelly’s

October 2014 - October 2016

Grill Cook

I worked seasonally at a fast food restaurant based at Arlington Racecourse. We saw large amounts of guests at each meet, and I would be in charge of managing other staff during my time here. As the grill cook, I was responsible for most of the food and would work quickly under pressure.

Knockhatch

October 2014 - January 2016

Kitchen Assistant

I worked in the kitchen of the soft play at Knockhatch. It was a very busy environment and I would sometimes work alone and was able to manage my time to get everything done properly and without complaint.
