Ms Natalia Leane:

I was always interested. I wanted to be a baker when I was a kid and I went from there.

Secondary school definitely helped because I did the apprentice chef competition in MTU. A local chef and one of the lecturers from the IT run a cooking competition every year and they invite secondary students. It is essentially a smaller version of WorldSkills but just for cooking. That really helped me out because I got to see the facilities in MTU. That is honestly why I chose it because through that competition I got to go in and do another competition.
