About Me

My love for creating pastries and baking encouraged me to pursue my dream. I attended Swiss Lanka Hotel School where I developed my culinary skills. After graduating I moved in to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia where I started my career at La Fraise – French Patisserie for 8 years. I then moved in to Le Meridien Hotel and worked there for 5 years and I was part of the opening team.

 

I have learnt quite a lot during my tenure.

 

For the next step of my professional career,

I joined Jeddah Hilton Hotel on 2006 and I am glad to be a member of this prestige hotel till now.

 

In 2015, I was promoted as the Executive Pastry Chef of Jeddah Hilton Hotel & Qasr Al Sharq –

I had great opportunities to travel to different countries and attend trainings and pastry masterclasses and workshops.

Pastry and Bakery continues to be an essential component in my life. I have yet to experience a greater sense of joy than when I watch someone savour one of my creations.
Through leadership in the pastry kitchen, I developed
my skills and techniques.
I also have a passion for innovating modern desserts and coaching my team members to be successful.
