Summary
I've had longer experience in kitchens, but recently I've become proficient in meat cutting, memorization, and efficient use of time. I make sure the items are presented in the best way possible, with the most flavor. I work incredibly well with other members and make sure everyone is able to do their work as well as I do. I'm also a quick learner and am easy to admit a mistake and take feedback.
