Maria Cristina Manzano

My first 6 years of management was spent on organizing and delivering projects with my online virtual team which consists of IT Specialists, Online Marketers, Virtual Assistants, Web Designers, and Writers. Our tasks include virtual assistance, online accounting consultations, and web-based product marketing.

I am an experienced Cook and Manager for 5 years and 8 years respectively, with B.S. Accountancy Degree (Magna Cum Laude) and advanced training in Culinary Arts (NCII) and Baking (NCII).  

I am currently working as an Operations Manager for Gemini Salt Refinery. I worked in Azamara Journey (a 6-star cruise line) as Breakfast and Room Service Cook both in Hot and Cold Kitchen and as Salad Cook in Pantry. I became an Assistant Cook for all sections of Main Galley for almost two months and as a Breakfast Cook Hot Kitchen for Main Galley, including the Omelet Live Station in Lido Buffet, for more than 4 months during my 2nd contract. Moreover, I received the highest evaluation grade of 4.41 out of 5.00 during my 1st contract onboard as a Buffet Line Cook. 

I honed my cooking skills as Head Chef / Kitchen Manager / Restaurant Manager/Cost Controller of Manila Airport Hotel (Chef’s Manila Restaurant), managing other chefs, kitchen crews and ojts. Part of my responsibility was payroll computation, P&L reports, food costing, and food quality control.
