Summary

As a driven college student seeking to broaden my horizons within Orange County, I bring a diverse background in both culinary arts and corrections. During my high school years, I cultivated valuable experience in the culinary field, and upon entering college, I made the strategic decision to transition into the realm of corrections with the county. Presently, as a team leader at Publix, I am actively seeking opportunities to further develop and leverage my skills. I am a dedicated team player committed to maintaining high standards of job performance and fostering collaborative environments that drive success.
