Summary

Owner and Head Chef with 5+ years of experience managing a freelance catering company, specializing in operations, logistics, and staff recruitment. Proven expertise in social media marketing, boosting online presence, community engagement, and follower interaction. Skilled in fostering teamwork, maintaining high-quality standards, and ensuring exceptional customer satisfaction, leading to repeat business and referrals.

As part of my leadership, I developed and implemented efficient labeling and storage solutions to optimize baked goods transportation. I recruit, train, and empower local staff, fostering a collaborative and supportive work environment.

In addition to my catering experience, I have a slight background in biology research, where I applied analytical and organizational skills to conduct experiments and manage complex projects. I designed and executed creative initiatives, including workshops that enhanced volunteer participation and skills. As a youth ambassador, I led student volunteers, promoting teamwork and leadership while improving program outcomes.

Through strategic planning, graphic design, and social media documentation, I successfully organized volunteer initiatives, increasing participation rates and strengthening community relationships. My combined experiences showcase my ability to manage operations effectively, generate innovative solutions, and foster both organizational growth and engagement.
