+ +I embarked on my career in the hospitality industry at sixteen, attending catering college where I earned NVQs in Professional Cookery, Bakery & Confectionery, and Patisserie. After completing a general apprenticeship, I specialised in pastry, discovering a passion for baking specialty breads and working with chocolate to create showpieces and confections.
-Notable roles include Pastry Chef de Partie at the prestigious Relais & Châteaux Bodysgallen Hall and Senior Sous Pastry Chef at The Chester Grosvenor, where I honed my skills and cooked at a Michelin-star level.
-
- The Chester Grosvenor boasts two exceptional dining venues: La Brasserie, a 2 AA Rosette restaurant offering all-day dining and a Champagne Bar, and Arkle, a Michelin-starred refined dining restaurant.
-As the Pastry Senior Sous Chef, I lead a talented team of six chefs and a baker, overseeing the creation of morning goods, event catering, and a variety of desserts and pastries for both restaurants.
- Chester Grosvenor Hotel -Bodysgallen Hall is a Grade 1 listed 17th-century house in North Wales, that has been meticulously restored by Historic House Hotels Limited since 1980 and donated to the National Trust in 2008.
-As the Pastry Chef de Partie, I was entrusted with developing and delivering all sweet creations, including restaurant desserts, afternoon tea, breakfast pastries, breads, and chocolate confections.
- Bodygallen Hall Hotel -At Woodward Foodservice, now a subsidiary of Brake UK, I served as the Development Chef. My responsibilities included supporting the business with customer presentations, menu development, and product training.
-A significant project I undertook was collaborating with Little Chef to introduce a children's menu, which was heavily influenced by research into government guidelines.

+For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to solving problems and uncovering patterns, whether in business processes, systems, or even everyday challenges. But it wasn’t until I transitioned careers that I truly understood the power of data in driving insights and innovation.
-Early in my career shift, I found myself fascinated by how businesses manage and govern their data. Encouraged by colleagues, I immersed myself in data governance, joining the Data Management Association (DAMA) and diving into the DMBOK framework. I gained a deep appreciation for data quality, security, and compliance, recognising how critical they are in shaping reliable and ethical decision-making.
-The ability to bridge the gap between technical expertise and business strategy has been incredibly rewarding, allowing me to leverage both my analytical and problem-solving skills.
- -In 2022, with my children grown and more time to focus on my personal development, I decided to formalize my knowledge. The world of data science had always intrigued me, particularly the ways in which artificial intelligence and machine learning could uncover hidden patterns and optimize decision-making. In 2023, I took a leap forward and enrolled in a degree in Data Science, specializing in AI and Machine Learning.
- -However, as much as I valued this strategic side of data, I felt a growing desire to be more hands on, to manipulate, analyze, and derive meaningful insights from data myself. To explore this I took short coding courses, experimented with SQL and Python, and delved into cloud platforms like Azure. -
-- These experiences were eye-opening, helping me understand the tools and technologies that power modern data-driven solutions. But I quickly realised that while I enjoyed the technical side, I didn’t want to become purely a developer, I wanted to find a balance between strategy and practical application. -
-Since then, I’ve fully embraced this journey. From building predictive models to creating compelling data visualisations, I’ve found immense satisfaction in transforming raw data into actionable insights.
- -This journey has reinforced a valuable lesson—personal growth isn’t about choosing one path and sticking to it. It’s about continuously learning, adapting, and refining your skills to create the most impact. My career transition has been a testament to that, and I’m excited to see where this ever-evolving field takes me next. -
