Summary

I've gone from Cook to Sous Chef within a year at my job. This having been my first official job at 18 years old I am still looking for ways to grow and learn new skills or expand on existing ones. I enjoy writing, art, and have completed a class on data science in high school along with video editing. I don't know everything there is to a computer; however, I'm comfortable with one. I can I enjoy reading and working with my hands. Although I do prefer working alone, I can work with others and communicate effectively to finish a project.
