Summary
As a young adult, I've been working in the food service industry since I was 16 years old. Whether it was apart of kitchen staff preparing food, or FOH service roles, I've always been known to handle all of my required duties and ensure other team members had the support necessary to thrive in high-pressure environments. I pick up new skills quickly and always ensure I'm fulfilling my duties to the best of my ability.
