About The Chef
I grew up in the Hospitality industry, my grandmother owning a hotel and my mother owning a restaurant. Since the age of 5 years old, I have been in and around the kitchen, intrigued about what I can learn and what I could help with.
In my final year of high school, I won a cooking competition, earning myself a full bursary at Capital Hotel School, Pretoria. I graduated from Capital Hotel school, Pretoria, with Cum Laude in Professional Cookery in 2019 and from Silwood school of cookery, Rondebosch, with Advanced Pastry in 2021. I specialize in Fondant sugar flower art as well.
I have worked in many different establishments all over SA, from fine dining to family-run restaurants. I am my happiest when I am in the kitchen creating art from food.
In 2023, I started my own small pastry and catering business, specializing in custom-designed cakes and private catering orders.
In 2025, I was on the reality cooking show on SABC2 called "Taste master SA S6". Here I worked with a lot of esteemed chefs. Throughout the competition, I won 3 of the challenges with my dishes. I ended up making it to the final and was then the Runner-up of the season.
I have always known I was going to become a chef; there was no backup plan, so I know I am where I'm supposed to be, in the kitchen!
