I am a passionate and compassionate individual who finds joy in spending time with kids, elders, and pets, as I deeply value connections and care for others. My love for aviation drives my dream of becoming a pilot, and I am dedicated to achieving this goal. Currently, I am pursuing my studies at VFC, where I am working hard to turn my passion for flying into a profession. In my free time, I enjoy engaging with people of all ages, learning from their experiences, and sharing moments of happiness, which adds meaning and balance to my life. Over the past year, my experience as a meal prep specialist and private chef has been both rewarding and transformative. I’ve had the privilege of crafting personalized menus tailored to diverse dietary needs, from vegan and gluten-free options to high-protein and low-carb meals. This role has honed my ability to plan, source, and prepare fresh, balanced meals while maintaining efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Working closely with clients has deepened my understanding of culinary preferences and cultural cuisines, allowing me to create dishes that are both nutritious and flavorful. Managing time, maintaining food safety standards, and adapting to last-minute requests have further strengthened my organizational and problem-solving skills. This year has not only enhanced my culinary expertise but also enriched my ability to provide exceptional service.

One of the loves of my life is cooking. My lactose intolerance and celiac disease have made me extremely adaptable to dietary restrictions. I find particular joy in preparing Mexican and Portuguese dishes. Whether it be vegan, vegetarian, or anything in between, I can cook it! I've prepared multi-course dishes for groups of ten or more on numerous occasions. I would be thrilled to start cooking for you and embrace a new challenge! I am a self-made chef.

I do not have any cooking training but my first attempt was at 4 I made my mom pancakes when she was sick. My Mom was a very good seamstress so cooking wasn’t her favourite thing to do so I cooked in my teens until 20. I helped cooks sometimes when I worked as a dietary aide in fancy seniors homes, when I worked at Sears cafe I made most of the sandwiches and wraps. I cooked for a few seniors when I worked as a companion. And did a bit of food prep! I haven’t actually worked as a cook but many people thought I should have. I did help the cooks sometimes when I worked as a dietary aide years ago. I planned my Moms 70th birthday over 10 years ago hired entertainment, made most of the food and drinks people thought it was catered! I use to do lol all the cooking when my children where small, made most of the decorations my self, and often the cake. I use to plan and make things for parties. I had and my parents had. When I moved back to Victoria I did all the cooking for my parents and children. When I worked as a companion to seniors there were several I cooked for mostly lunch. I did a bit of meal prep for one guy! Love to cook my favourite is Mexican, some Chinese, some Italian and some more traditional Canadian cooking. I like making muffins, cookies, loaves but not bread. Desserts; usually mire like a parfait, Chocolate, chocolate dipped strawberries. am good at making drinks or virgin drinks I often made my children when they still lived at home mostly like a smoothie.

Food Handler’s Certification

While I haven't been formally trained or worked in a professional kitchen, my culinary journey is deeply rooted in a genuine passion for cooking and baking, particularly for my family. This passion has driven me to continuously experiment, learn, follow recipes, and refine my culinary skills over the years. In addition to my personal endeavors, I have gained practical experience by working part-time in the catering industry. Within this role, I have actively participated in various aspects of kitchen operations, including food preparation, assisting chefs, and ensuring smooth service delivery as a server. While I may lack formal professional experience, my combination of genuine passion, practical exposure, and adaptability places me as a promising candidate ready to embark on new culinary challenges and make meaningful contributions to any family's home, team, or company. I have no professional work experience in terms of cooking but what I have is a personal experience cooking for my family most specially my 3 children.

I come from a big family that have done monthly get togethers so I’m familiar with making large amounts of food. I do most of the cooking at home and can make frozen meal preps. My biggest passion though, would be baking. I can’t do anything too sophisticated, but I can make: — Chocolate Eclairs — Crumble muffins — Cakes(although decorating skills are lacking) — Cookies — Pies — Apple crumble — Beignets or regular donuts — Soft pretzels — Pepperoni cheese sticks — Bread/buns I passed my first Food Safe course seven years ago and I was in my schools Culinary Arts class(which makes the cafeteria breakfast/lunches). Since then I’ve done about eight months of Prep Cook work and have recently dabbled in some local catering.
