Summary

Hard working and energetic. Both personable and professional. Looking to apply my education, experience, and time to a job where I can be part of a team. I have spent an extensive amount of time in the food and beverage industry. My experience has taught me that it takes hard work and time in order to achieve a goal. Finally, I will be able to make good judgments in respect to both the company as well as the customer.
