Who I Am
I am a qualified Chef, with over 18 years of culinary experience, I bring a unique blend of hands-on cooking expertise and operational management insight to Aged Care food services. My background spans a diverse range of care settings and age groups, giving me a deep understanding of both the practical and regulatory demands within the industry.
As a Chef Partner, I work alongside Executive Chefs, Head Chefs and Catering Managers to strengthen the operational backbone of their kitchens—helping teams stay compliant with Aged Care Standard 6: Food and Nutrition, while continuing to deliver quality, nutritious, and enjoyable meals for residents.
