Summary
I have worked in food service and the culinary world for over six years now. I am someone who will always show up on time, commit to giving their all during their daily tasks, and then show up the next day and do the same thing. Through all my time working in the high-stress environment of food, whether it be baking, cooking, prepping, or assisting customers, I have maintained a strong and steady degree of composure that helps me to thrive in whatever job I am doing. It is a type of job I feel called to, and hope to continue to work within the field for many years to come.
