Summary

I am a skilled CNP Worker with a proven track record and references at Cullman City Primary School. I was employed at CCPS from November 2016 to May 2024 excelling in each rotation of kitchen duties, serving as “acting manager” on many occasions during that time performing duties such as providing kitchen staff with projected numbers for a smooth serving process, running the register for students during lunch times while confirming adequate food was prepared, and fulfilling day end paperwork. I have many computer skills I have been fortunate enough to be able to assist my managers to date with and am very technology savvy to learn other programs this job may require me to learn. I would consider myself well versed in the daily running of the kitchen and experienced in the many special events the school hosts. In my 8 years previously with CCPS, I was able to build many relationships with both staff and students that I cherish dearly. I feel as though my experience in the school already with an opportunity to grow in a new position would positively impact myself both personally and professionally in addition to being an asset to CCPS.
