Despite facing setbacks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Amalle's resilience and hard work allowed her to overcome obstacles and emerge victorious. Let's delve into Amalle's inspiring journey, highlighting her progression and achievements in the culinary industry.
In 2018, Amalle proudly became an Australian citizen, marking the beginning of a new chapter in her life. She joined Sofitel Brisbane on May 22, 2019, as a Buffet Runner, showcasing her passion for the hospitality industry. Although her role primarily involved supporting the buffet operations, Amalle's ambition drove her to pursue a career in commercial cookery. On September 9, 2019, Amalle took a significant step forward by starting her apprenticeship in Commercial Cookery. This decision exemplified her determination to enhance her culinary skills and knowledge. However, fate had other plans, as the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the industry, putting Amalle's apprenticeship on hold. Despite the challenges, Amalle remained a dedicated employee of Sofitel Brisbane, continuing to work as a first-year apprentice and showcasing her loyalty and commitment.
As the industry gradually recovered, Amalle's perseverance paid off. She resumed her apprenticeship and continued to excel in her studies and on-the-job training. In mid-2022, Amalle's hard work and dedication earned her a well-deserved promotion to a second-year apprentice, a testament to her growth and culinary expertise. By December 2022, she progressed to a third year apprentice, demonstrating her continuous improvement and passion for her craft. Amalle's journey reached a milestone on May 29, 2023, as she successfully completed her apprenticeship. After completing her major assessment in planning and costing menus, and logging 48 services effectively as a Cook, she emerged as a qualified Commis Chef. This achievement not only recognized her culinary skills but also celebrated her perseverance and commitment throughout her journey.
Amalle's journey from a Buffet Runner to a qualified Commis Chef at Sofitel Brisbane exemplifies the power of determination and resilience.
