Chidinma (Miracle) Umunna Commis Chef Apprentice Sodexo As a child, Miracle loved watching different chefs on television and would spend hours helping her mum make dishes at home. Food technology became a favourite class at school and after completing a GCSE in the subject, she sensed her future lay in hospitality. It was during a food technology school trip that she jumped at the chance to become an apprentice on the Sodexo Live! programme. She’s now determined to develop her culinary knowledge, loving every minute of learning the art of cooking from an array of different chefs she meets.
