How long have you been a chef?
It’s been two years.

What are your signature dishes?
Seafood and Italian cuisine.

What is your most memorable moment as a chef?
My most memorable moment as a chef was when I won the Best Appetiser and Best Innovation awards at the Young Chef Culinary competition.

Why do you think there aren’t many women chefs around?
Maybe it’s because it’s different with women. They need to be encouraged constantly and family support becomes very essential for them.
