Professional Chef
After joining Bredon, Alicia found the supportive and understanding environment she had been looking for. Surrounded by like-minded peers and encouraged by staff, she quickly grew in confidence and independence. She particularly enjoyed life on the farm and boarding, both of which helped prepare her for life beyond school.
Alicia discovered her passion for hospitality during her time at Bredon, thanks to the encouragement and guidance of her Hospitality and Catering teacher. Inspired to pursue a career in the industry, she went on to complete an apprenticeship alongside her college studies before moving to London to further develop her skills.
Since then, Alicia has built an impressive career, working in several renowned restaurants, including Merchant Taylors’ Hall, Sabor, KOL, HIDE and The River Café. Her experience in several Michelin-starred restaurants has allowed her to learn from some of the industry’s leading chefs and hospitality professionals.
Looking back, Alicia credits Bredon with giving her the confidence and belief to pursue her ambitions. The support and encouragement she received from staff helped her discover her passion and laid the foundations for a rewarding career in hospitality, making her a wonderful example of what can be achieved with the right guidance and determination.
