These experiences shaped my expertise across various facets of hospitality management, from operations to guest relations.

Additionally, I've shared my expertise as an Assistant Professor at Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Jalandhar, and CT Group of Institutions, Jalandhar, specializing in food production and food  & nutrition.

A culinary aficionado at heart, I hold certifications and specialization in Indian curries and tandoor cuisine, along with proficiency in continental and Japanese cuisine. This diverse skill set reflects my commitment to excellence and innovation in culinary arts.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I cherish spending time with my family and exploring the serene landscapes of Himachal Pradesh. Whether it's indulging in outdoor adventures or honing my culinary skills further, I embrace every opportunity for growth and enrichment.
