Summary

I was excited to learn about the Kitchen Assistant / Event Coordinator opportunity at Dr. Bronner's, a company I've long admired for its All-One! Philosophy, unwavering commitment to fair trade, organic ingredients, sustainability, and using business as a force for good. With over 13 years in high-volume kitchen work and large-scale event catering, plus a diverse hands-on background that values precision and teamwork, I am eager to support your mission-driven operations and help create nourishing, ethical experiences for your team and guests. In my current temporary role, I handle daily food prep, event support, inventory, and sanitation in a fast-paced environment—skills directly transferable to supporting Dr. Bronner's internal events, staff meals, or any community/brand gatherings. For more than a decade, I've coordinated catering for festivals, breweries, and weddings serving hundreds to thousands, managing setup, service flow, vendor coordination, and breakdown while adapting to challenges and prioritizing safety and quality. My earlier experience as a U.S. Marines calibration technician and master machinist sharpened my attention to detail, reliability under pressure, and ability to maintain high standards—qualities I know align with Dr. Bronner's progressive workplace culture and emphasis on ethical, responsible practices. I am particularly drawn to Dr. Bronner's dedication to social justice, environmental stewardship, and treating people (and the planet) as All-One. I would be honored to bring my energy, versatility, and passion for food service to your family-oriented team, contributing to events and operations that reflect those shared values.

Hardworking Kitchen Assistant well-versed in food preparation techniques and inventory management to maintain consistent stock of needed supplies. Shoulders multiple kitchen tasks in support of cooks and servers. Thrives in busy environments.
