Summary

Hardworking and reliable in the kitchen, with experience from Panda Express and a local chicken restaurant. I know how to cook in a fast-paced environment, keep things clean and safe, and have helped train others to do the same in the past. I speak both English and Spanish, which helps with communication and teamwork. I take pride in making good food and doing things the right way. I also played for a competitive soccer team, which has taught me discipline, hustle, and how to work with a team under pressure. Currently, I am looking for a second job to stay busy and grow my skills.
