Meet Chef Melani Müller:

I'm Melani Müller - a Culinary Arts Lecturer and the Practical Training Coordinator at The Swiss Hotel School. I completed my studies at Prue Leith Culinary Institute, where I graduated at the top of my class. I completed my QCTO Trade Test, as well as my City & Guilds level 1 and 2 certifications.

After graduation, I studied an Advanced Certificate of Kitchen Management at SHS and graduated in September of last year. At SHS, I manage student industry placements, to ensure that they are as well prepared as possible for the industry we all love.
