The MOF title is really unique. It carries an important historical legacy and recognizes work approaching perfection. It is a true honor to receive recognition for one's peers and country.

The hours of preparation, the stress of the competition, the recognition for all the work and commitment, have alla All has changed me forever. I have pushed myself beyond what I imagined possible and it certainly contributed in making me a better professional.

Being a MOF undeniably implies responsibility and one of my favorite may well be passing on the passion and art to the next generation. My role at EHL plays an important part in this and I am thrilled every time I see students’ eyes light up when accomplishing something they never thought they were capable of.
