Summary
I graduated from Centennial High School with honors while working at the Boise Co-op as a dishwasher. I soon started working full time and advanced to a Prep Cook position and later into a Cook 1 position preparing foods for the Co-op deli. This demonstrates my commitment to work and my loyalty to the company that I work for. I excelled as a cook at the Boise Co-op preparing salads, grilling various foods, and organizing both dry storage and walk in coolers/freezers.
