At 128 South Events and Catering, I excelled in adapting to dynamic event requirements, ensuring flawless execution and client satisfaction. My expertise in food presentation and exceptional interpersonal skills fostered strong client relationships and enhanced event experiences. Reliability and punctuality are two reasons why I was trained at all positions and eventually promoted to captain where I coordinated with wedding planners and catering teams to complete plated dinners of up to 200 people.
