Daleville High School

Just graduated from High School,

I worked all through high school. Here in Florida I worked after school for both Posey's Restaurant and then for Angelo's Restaurant. I then moved to Alabama to finish my high school years and graduated from Daleville High School this past May. During those years, I worked for the fast food industry McDonald's and Wendy's after school and on weekends.  Since graduation, I worked a few weeks at the Steak House in Enterprise Alabama. I am currently back home in Crawfordville and looking for a job where I can prove my strengths, grow and help me to decide what I will go on to do in the future.
