Summary

I have worked in and out of both construction sites and kitchens. I have loved to cook, problem solve, and think curiously since I was very young, and have picked up various skills at the places that I have worked. I have done both simple and reparative work, to complex and fast paced work and have been able to adapt to both extremes. With these experiences I have gained skills that help me adapt and problem solve to various challenges.
