My professional journey began at Chick-fil-A, where I had the opportunity to learn valuable leadership skills. In this fast-paced environment, I discovered how to lead a team effectively while keeping morale high. Working closely with my colleagues taught me the importance of collaboration. This experience underscored that when a team works together, tasks can be completed more quickly and efficiently, leading to better overall results.

After my time at Chick-fil-A, I decided to further my education by enrolling in culinary school. I pursued an associate's degree in culinary arts, which deepened my understanding of food preparation and kitchen management. Equipped with this education, I transitioned to Cracker Barrel, where I took on the role of managing the grill section. In this position, I was responsible for overseeing the cooking process, ensuring that every dish was prepared to the highest standards and served promptly. My focus on maintaining smooth operations allowed me to enhance the overall dining experience for our customers.

As I gained more experience in the culinary field, I developed a strong expertise in kitchen operations. I recognized the critical significance of teamwork in achieving our goals. At Spring Harbor, I applied these skills to enhance customer satisfaction. I worked diligently to ensure that our patrons enjoyed their meals and left with a positive impression. My understanding of food safety protocols and my professional demeanor contributed significantly to improving kitchen efficiency. By ensuring that all procedures were followed correctly, I was able to create an environment where quality service was a priority.

Throughout my career in these roles, I have learned the essential values of leadership, team coordination, and unwavering dedication to providing quality service. Each experience has shaped me into a more effective leader, capable of inspiring others and promoting a positive atmosphere within the kitchen.
