Summary

I am motivated and reliable employee looking for a starting position in a restaurant as a server or as a hostess with the ability to move up to server over time. I love meeting new people and fast paced, challenging environments and I think serving would be a perfect fit for me as I continue my education at Grand Valley this year.
