EARLY CAREER

Starting my working life as a chef, coordinating, planning and promoting events from small weddings to International events such as Wine Australia at Darling Harbor in 1994.

 

My creative side awarded me the honour of competing in a number of competitions endorsed by the Australasian Guild Of Professional Cooks. My achievements led me to explore other avenues of creativity, including fashion and textiles and graphic design.

 

The very first day I was asked to look at a computer I was mesmerised by what its capabilities were and endeavoured to learn more, improve my skills and broaden my options.
