About me

Currently seeking unique opportunities to bring together dual passions for food & finance and add value through innate creativity. Passionate about food and international culture, I spend much of my spare time exploring global cuisines and bringing creativity to cooking. I love to travel, and as a successful food blogger and small operation caterer, I link my travels to my food exploration to come up with, and promote, exciting new recipes and ideas. Relentlessly creative I also dabble in fashion design and crafts, participating in a small not-for-profit enterprise called ‘My Little Cameroon’, which promotes Cameroonian culture & heritage through design.
