Hospitality, Cookery and Tourism

I have chosen TAFE International WA because it is well-known to students like me for fostering engagement, productivity, and ambitions. In addition, it has a reputation in Australia for maintaining best practice and leadership among its students.

Studying at TAFE is a great life experience in lots of different ways. In a practical sense, you are learning from the best and really equip yourself for future challenges. There are also great opportunities in WA – not only for work but also lifestyle and affordability.

When I came to Australia to live I didn’t have strong English skills so I couldn’t speak well and I couldn’t understand anyone. I worked in a café as a barista. I watched the chef in the kitchen and he was happy to show me how a kitchen worked. It was from then that I really found my love for the kitchen.

I completed my studies in July 2010 and almost instantly found employment within the industry. In 2020 I started working at SM TAFE as an events management lecturer at the Bentley, Fremantle and Mandurah campuses, teaching a variety of units across events, hospitality management, food and beverage and first aid.
