Summary

Professional chef from Estonia with a focus on delivering high-quality results. With almost five years of hands-on experience and a passion for exploration, I have a natural curiosity that drives me to connect with different people through travelling. I have completed internships and training programs at four Michelin-starred restaurants in three different countries. In the culinary field, I prioritize being aware of my surroundings and offering assistance when needed. I also have a few hobbies such as painting, pottery, tattooing, and immersing myself in books and films during my free time.
