Summary

Forward-thinking professional offering more than 4 years of experience working in fast-paced kitchens. Skilled at staying focused and productive in high-stress situations and maintaining calmness in busy times. I am also trained in welding and have been doing it for 4 years, I know how to use stick, mig, torch, and a little bit of metal cutting. When I was younger I was also doing lawn maintenance and tree cutting so I have the endurance and capability of being agile and safe with machinery and lifting heavy objects.
