Summary

With more than eight years in the restaurant industry, I have developed top level communication and organizational skills in order to thrive in a variety of atmospheres. From balancing a 16 table section in the chaotic days of Crusade to providing a slower, warmer experience in the farm-to-fork style of Sovereign, I have always emphasized my positive energy and prioritized a feeling of assertive hospitality.
