Jewel Thomas

I started off hosting at Emiliano's when I was 17, and then began serving when I turned 18. I waited tables, sat tables, rolled silverware, took phone calls, did online orders, served alcohol, completed numerous different side-work jobs in the kitchen, always checked identification prior to selling alcohol, made friends with regulars, and always completed what was expected from me.

I hosted at OTB Bicycle Cafe in North Park for just a few months over past summer. I sat tables, made reservations, managed waitlists, cleaned bathrooms, and managed server sections.

I was a lifeguard for around three years as my first job through American Pools. I monitored the pool and the safety of all guests, cleaned bathrooms, worked front desk, taught swimming lessons, cleaned the pool area, checked the pool chemicals every hour, and worked the snack bar.
