How did you get interested in your skill?
When I was young I used to walk down Orchard Rd and look inside the windows of the beautiful hotels. People seemed to be very happy inside the restaurants enjoying the food! I love to eat amazing food and thought I could make people just as happy so I applied to study Food and Beverage Operations and realised I had found my perfect job!

Where did you do your training for your skill?
I do my training at my college, Institute of Technical Education in Choa Chu Kang. I've also worked at a few restaurants to improve my customer service and skills.
