Summary
I am a type 1 diabetic with experience in the kitchen in all categories. Not only can I cook, but can keep up with regulations, sanitation, and all types of cooking machinery. I prioritize quality above all else. I excel in adaptability, problem-solving, teamwork, and especially customer satisfaction, making sure any issue is resolved, inside or outside the kitchen. I am skilled in any type of kitchen, slow or fast paced, while maintaining a clam attitude despite how difficult the challenge or task may be.
