Summary
I bring a strong work ethic and adaptability developed through experience in both food service and construction, where I managed high-pressure environments, long hours, and diverse responsibilities ranging from food preparation and customer service to inventory organization and physical labor. Across all roles, I’ve consistently demonstrated reliability, teamwork, and a willingness to learn quickly—whether mastering new systems, working in challenging conditions, or balancing multiple tasks at once. While maintaining my current role at my school dining center, I have successfully balanced demanding coursework, work responsibilities, and personal commitments, reflecting my discipline, resilience, and commitment to growth.

- I started working at the school cafeteria because of financial reasons. At the beginning I was worried about failing my classes because of the added responsibility. But even during the hardest courses, I found a way to study for my classes, do my homework, have a social life, and still show up for work. I’m proud of my work ethic because I have never been fired from a job and love working alongside my coworkers who understand the same problems I have as we quote “We’re all in the same boat. ”

- During the summer I was worried about not having enough money for the next semester. Through a friend from high school she helped me get hired at her restaurant which her mom managed. I had zero experience with the cashier position but I was determined to learn as I don’t like standing around and getting helped forever. After a week of learning the ropes, I started learning the register, something my coworkers felt I needed another 2 weeks to understand. The following week I was taking orders and charging them appropriately. The restaurant was not tech savvy and much of the equipment was outdated but I learned how to use everything with time. When I made a mistake with an order I apologized honestly and made sure not to make it again to the best of my ability. Working with them was a pleasure as the staff was very close.

- I worked with a drywall company for the summer and completed all tasks given to me at the moment. I followed instructions to the best of my ability and worked in harsh weather conditions which I was already used to working with fryers and fridge temperatures. I showed up every day only missing for a few sick days. I worked in the early morning and was up at 4am. Showed up to work at 6 and left at 5 pm so long hours aren’t a problem.

- I was a fryer at Jack in the Box but I had various tasks because of few workers. I moved inventory and organized storage to better suit the space. I was throwing out the trash whenever they were filled. I always kept my area and space clean. I was a helpful co worker and worked well with others. I learned to work under pressure and to quickly complete tasks as I worked as the only fryer, food prep, and dishwasher. I was basically the custodian/ fryer/ and food prep. I did afternoon shifts, usually 2-10 pm shifts.
