Summary
I have worked in the Horry County School System for the past 8 years. Although the job that I have now is not in the kitchen, I feel that the experiences I have gained by seeing the cafeteria operations from the outside gives me a unique perspective. I have worked in restaurants in multiple capacities since the age of 14, and have learned so many great and useful skills that could be put towards this position. Also, I have several years of school experience in a cafeteria setting. I have strong problem-solving abilities, willingness to learn, and excellent communication skills. I would love the opportunity to contribute to team success and achieve positive results. I am ready to tackle new challenges and advance organizational objectives with dedication and enthusiasm.
