Additional Information

I have been working in the food service industry since I was about 16 years old and have loved it.


I also love to work with kids. I volunteered to coach a youth cheer team at Iowa Elite for 2 years in high school and adored it.


I have worked at 2 Jethro locations in this last year. I started working at the Iowa City location in the summer and transferred to the Ames location in the fall. I have gone back and forth at each location during the breaks and school time.
