Summary

Adept at time management and critical thinking, I excelled as a Line Cook at Van Rensselaer's Restaurant and Raw Bar, where I mastered new recipes and techniques, ensuring high-quality food presentation, and gaining a promotion for every summer I have worked there. My ability to prepare multiple orders with precision during peak periods highlights my dedication and skill set, aligning with employer-desired competencies.


In my academic life I work to have a fresh perspective and willingness to learn in dynamic environments. I use analytical skills that I have learned over my time as a student to adapt quickly to new subject matters.
