Summary

I have a diverse background in providing support and service within the healthcare and hospitality industries. As a Direct Support Professional at REM in Marshall, MN, I assisted disabled clients in achieving independence and maintaining well-being through personalized care and support. This included administering medication, ensuring a clean and safe environment, and assisting with daily living needs to promote self-esteem and general wellness.

Transitioning to the culinary field, I worked as a Cooking Assistant at Chart Wells in Marshall, MN, where I upheld strict sanitation standards and followed standardized recipes to prepare appetizing meals. I contributed to kitchen organization, food storage, and food preparation to ensure efficient and safe operations.

Currently, as a Cook/Server at Habesha Market And Restaurant in Washington DC, I excel in providing exceptional customer service while managing various aspects of restaurant operations. I cultivate warm relationships with customers, address concerns promptly and professionally, and ensure smooth transitions between shifts to maintain efficiency and customer satisfaction. With a strong focus on attention to detail and a dedication to exceeding expectations, I consistently contribute to creating positive dining experiences for all patrons.
