Kalamazoo

Summary

I have studied food and worked in commercial kitchens for more than 4 years starting at Aramark, continuing to Kalamazoo public schools. I am certified in safe serv, blood borne pathogens, sanitizing procedures and dietary restrictions. I’m a self starter and go getter who respects structure and rules. I’m very easy to get along with avoid conflict, I just love what I do. Looking for a long term stable environment where I can grow and retire with the company.
