Tugce Bayrakdar (geneticist turned chef) - a food dream for the future

This week on Dirty Linen, our topic is visa holders in hospitality. Who are they? What are they struggling with? Is it fair that they were told to 'go home' if they couldn't support themselves during the pandemic. First up, Tugce Bayrakdar is a geneticist turned chef who moved from Turkey to study hospitality in Melbourne. She lost her job at Omnia in March and instantly spiralled into a demoralising period of worry. She's now working at food charity FareShare, which has helped her map out a food dream for her future.
