I started waitressing at 16 which paid for my car, holidays and uni nights out.

TEA OR COFFEE?
Colombian coffee every day!

WHAT’S THE WORST JOB YOU’VE DONE?
Hmmm, cleaning the inside of wine spittoons has to be up there!

WHAT WOULD BE YOUR LAST SUPPER?
At the moment it would be a BBQ. I’m obsessed with them at the minute.

I’m really inspired by strong female leaders who have used their influence to make a difference in the world such as Marie Curie (first woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize), Oprah Winfrey and Sheryl Sandberg, to name a few.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE PART OF THE JOB?
I love that every day is different and every week I get to meet someone new.

Admin. Emails, and the fact I’m constantly playing catch up.

I love how much innovation, creativity and skill there is in the food industry.
