Summary

Adept at kitchen organization and staff supervision, I enhanced team efficiency and food safety at multiple hotels and restaurants over the past decade. Having skills in recipe development and problem-solving, I know how to quickly and efficiently solve problems when least expected. My experience spans from working each station on the line, large banquet parties, pastry, and meat fabrication. Staying calm and organized are things I aim to accomplish every time I step foot into the kitchen.
