“FAILING IS BETTER THAN SAYING ITS IMPOSSIBLE”
exploring, trying and learning is what defines me!
Culinary Innovations !
Always a Competitor !
Participated in more than 5 Culinary competitions and topped up in the scoreboard.
I believe competition is what made me explore the food world more and meet new people and to overcome my shyness.
Never underestimate an opportunity, Either its a win or a learning.
