Summary

I need a change. I have worked in kitchens since I was 15 years old and have over 20 years experience in that field. I have made it to the top earning potential for that job and I have decided its pretty much a waste of time. I have learned everything in the field by myself and eventually was in charge of running a kitchen entirely. I bring many skills with me from time management, dealing with high stress situations, problem solving skills, and even management experience. I am a fast paced worker that will be to work everyday.
