Summary
I was a meat cutter for several years and it is the job I feel like I'm meant to do. I enjoy the work and assisting customers. Much of my time as a cutter was also during the covid lock downs which taught me to be adaptable and efficient. I'm very comfortable using larger equipment as well such as band saws and meat grinders. I also excel at detail work making sure everything in my department is up to standard and wrapped and priced correctly.
