While working at Ford I was a temp with Olsteen. I received employee of the month twice while I was the lead at their on the go location.

As a temp I was facing unemployment during the summer months which brought me to apply at Aldi's. After almost 2 years at Aldi's I'd like to transition back to culinary career as that is somewhere I shine. While Aldi's is a great company I do not see myself growing within the company as it take brut strength to do so.

At TA I was the lead and trainer for the hot box. The hot box is on the go food items for travelers at a gas station. I prepared a variety of hot sandwiches, pizzas and appetizer for sale in a hot box at the cashier stand. I also prepped cold and frozen foods for sale. Those items included fresh fruit, breakfast sandwiches, biscuits and gravy and many more. I coordinated with management as I was in charge of my own inventory and supplies. I only left this job to move closer to my sick mother.
