Summary

I am an energetic, friendly, and hardworking leader that will ensure an effective, and healthy environment. I have lots of experience working as a team, as I have spent my final two years of high school at a high-caliber prep school (Capital Courts Academy) in Ottawa as well as this past year at The University at Buffalo playing Division 1 basketball. I know that what I have learned throughout the years in a team environment are perfectly parallel with those in a restaurant atmosphere. I am extremely hard working, and will be willing to do any task. I am going to school at Queens University for the next three years and will be willing to be a dependable part of your team for that duration. I have my Smart Serve certificate, and I am opioid overdose prevention trained. I can also speak French. I know that I will be an asset to you!
