At 19-years-old, Kirren is about to complete an NVQ level 3 in cooking and is also currently on a modern apprenticeship scheme, learning to become a chef. According to Kirren, some Asian woman, like herself, rarely get the chance to pursue the career they want to and in some families the suggestion that a young Asian girl may want to become a chef in secular British society would be frowned upon. Kirren herself talks about the need to overcome certain prejudices that might have hampered a weaker person. But because of the suppport she's had from her mother and her friends and her unerring desire to succeed, Kirren is flourishing in her chosen profession and one day aspires to open her own restaurant. Use the audio link on the right to listen to Kirren's story.
