Do you have a favourite type of cuisine?
“I would describe my style as modern British - with small influences of classic French and Japanese flavouring throughout.”
How did you become a chef?
“I got into cooking from being brought up in a household of hospitality career-based family members. My mum is a waitress and my uncle is a chef so I was always in and out of restaurants and kitchens when I was young. Then later on, my dad had a big impact on me. We travelled on foodie trips to America and he also cooked at home, which got me into cooking even more.”

The Art School Restaurant, Liverpool; The Lawns Restaurant, Thornton Hall Hotel, Wirral; Kelp Liverpool.

“The highlight of my career is becoming a Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Semi-Finalist back in 2017.”
Why did you want to take part in MasterChef: The Professionals?
“I wanted a new challenge and to push myself on something. During the pandemic there were some low times in my life and career. I didn’t know where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do. But when I saw the application was open for MasterChef: The Professionals, I thought… I’ll put my name down.”
