Profile
I originally studied Bakery and Confectionery Level 1 & 2 at UCB whilst working in a small craft bakery, I then completed a level 3, 4 and 5 bakery apprenticeship. Working in small craft bakeries helped me gain the skills I can showcase today. I have worked in instore bakeries, completed internships abroad in France and Switzerland with the Worshipful Company of Bakers. Whilst working in an instore bakery, I set up my own business from an industrial unit attending farmers markets, exhibition shows and providing local businesses with bread and cakes.
I then joined University College Birmingham as a bakery lecturer, teaching college students level 1, 2 and 3 and University students level 4 and 6.
