What’s the work that you do?

It ain’t easy cooking for 600-1000 people… But I make sure my team keeps the food hot and ready for when the station is hungry! Frozen food, lack of fresh ingredients, sometimes we run out of spices! It’s a harsh continent, but we keep everyone fed.

What keeps you going?

I love the challenge of problemsolving when you can’t just run out to the grocery store to get more onions to dice! Love adventure and seeing places and things I might never have the opportunity to visit or experience otherwise.

What’s your message to the world?

Never let others determine your limitations. Get out and explore!
