Srijaenthi Natraj worked at Benjarong, Royal Thai Cuisine, at Dusit Thani Dubai. She started off her time in the industry as an intern at the acclaimed Michelin starred Jean Georges restaurant after graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, Singapore campus where she obtained admission as the only international student to have been accepted in her batch. While the same degree course in the US is for a period of 4 years, she successfully completed it at Singapore in 2 years with the same curriculum, exams and hours of study since she had completed her IVQ City and Guilds diploma at the ICCA during the course of her 11th grade. An academically bright student educated in Dubai throughout at Gems Modern Academy, she chose to follow her passion and hopes to make a mark in the culinary world.

According to Srijaenthi: “Being passionate about the culinary arts and the food and beverage industry, coupled with a strong background in academics, I would like to initially be part of and eventually lead a multi-disciplinary team of hospitality professionals, which should satisfy me most in terms of challenge and personal excellence.”

Way to go Sri! May this accolade encourage you more in perfecting your craft and never forget your humble beginnings.
