I am honored to have received the EMD award from the House of Commons, as it reaffirms my dedication to the field of hospitality. I am grateful for the nomination by my local MP to the UK Parliament, recognizing my efforts in the hospitality industry and my commitment to supporting the local community and aspiring chefs from schools and colleges.
