Lake Havasu City,United States
Summary
I started my journey through the restaurant industry in 2014 in Phoenix at a family owned franchise. I worked through the heart of the house doing mostly every position they asked me to do, from dishwashing, to prep, to line work. I moved back to Havasu in 2017, started at Red Robin in the kitchen and based on personality, was asked to move to front of house. I climbed the ladder through hosting, moving to expediting, serving, and shortly after bartending. I’ve enjoyed the industry since the moment I got into it. I’ve always prided myself on being quick, efficient, driven, and wish to broaden my skills.
