Summary
Dynamic Kitchen Manager at Texas Roadhouse with a proven track record in team leadership and inventory management. Successfully mentored staff, enhancing collaboration and performance. Skilled in multitasking and digital literacy, I fostered a positive work environment while ensuring compliance with health regulations and delivering high-quality food service.
I am seeking to enter the realm of History, a place where my passions lye and where I know my mind excels. History is a story based on facts and evidence and I love finding those facts and decoding the evidence to help create the historical story of that individual, group, or nation.
