Professional Chef

I have several career objectives, some long-term and some short. If I were to summarize some career objectives of mine that would aid in giving a recruiter a good idea of my career goals: I would start out by saying that I have spent a lot of time, energy, and really my heart and soul building my culinary, communication, and business skill-set in order to take my next employer and their business strait to the top. With my eager ambition to put into practice my recently sharpened, long term skills that I have always possessed in the kitchen, and also the newly developed portions of my skill-set that I was blessed to have picked up durring my recent travels to Italy. After my last Chef tour in Italy I was hand-picked by Michelin Star & 5 Diamond Award winning Chef Andrea Trappani to join his international kitchen brigade in executing two very important events at the world famous James Beard Foundation. Through these recent opportunities, I have learned a great deal about myself, especially in regards to my cultural perspective on food and it's different origins , my leadership qualities have reached a new level but must always continue to grow, and I have really just matured as a Chef in every facet of the business over the past couple years while working, training, and living in Tuscany when I wasn't back here in Chicago finishing my Bachelors Degree in Advanced Culinary Art. I have spent the past 16 or 17 years in the Hospitality industry, and now having attained my Bachelors Degree, trained & worked in Florence, Italy, I know that I am ready to begin working hard for a great company that will utilyze my conceptualizing ability and overall leadership & problem solving skills to make the company I end up joining the best it can possibly be!
