Summary

I’ve worked as a certified restaurant manager at JIAO by Qing Xiang Yuan Dumplings, where I led a team, improved customer service, and kept everything running smoothly, including inventory. At La Michoacana Azteca, I focused on building great relationships with customers, improving my communication skills, and paying attention to the little details that make a big difference. I’m great at working with people, staying organized, and creating a positive environment for everyone.
