Profile
I originally studied Bakery and Confectionery Level 1 and 2 at University College Birmingham whilst working in a small craft bakery. I then completed Level 3, 4 and 5 Bakery Apprenticeship before working in in-store bakeries and completing internships abroad in France and Switzerland with the Worshipful Company of Bakers.
Whilst working in an in-store 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.
External engagements
