Carlsbad,Ca

Summary

On June 17,2021, I resided in this beautiful country. I came with no knowledge of the culinary or restaurant industry. I am a hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong preparation skills. My first 10 months at Black Rail, I worked in all the job positions available and slowly worked my way up and learned the responsibly and tasks of being a line cook. After a few months, I transferred to the Omni Resort. With my experience, I can offer time management skills and work well under pressure.
