"I decided to go to Australia to broaden my knowledge in the culinary field. The diverse culture has helped me be knowledgeable to other cuisines aside my own. I was able to taste different kinds of food and experience various cooking skills that are not common to my country. However, my stay here was not only beneficial to my career but it has also led me to discover myself- my strengths and my weaknesses. Leaving my comfort zone has made me independent and resilient, a person who is now ready to face challenges that will come her way. And for that, I am very grateful. My advice to the future interns is to be involved- do things beyond your assigned task and observe and always ask questions. Take advantage of the opportunity to learn as much as you can from the talented people around you."
