I LOVE food. I am very good at creating easy-cooking, pretty, healthy, and tasty food full of texture and colours. I had an opportunity to work with FOOD as Business Development Manager for Oriental food. It was amazing and in the short period of time, I made a remarkable achievement. A product was born in my own kitchen, that launched at a well-known retailer in a Festive party range. I designed, cooked, developed, physically delivered, and communicated effectively to make this come true, with some good supportive people. People sometimes tell me; "You are so lucky to live in England." No. I wasn't just lucky. I made lots of efforts. I spent lots of money. I planned and actioned. I did not give up. And I will continue my journey to grow! Languages: Japanese (native) & English (fluent) Nationality: Japan (eligible to work in the UK) Thank you for visiting my profile! Ayumi
