Internship
Interned at the Cobblestone Park Golf Club in 2023. Learned a ton of different things about the food and beverage industry and as an event coordinator. I was able to work in the front and the back of the house inside of the kitchen. I worked as a waiter, front of the house manager, back of the house manager, and as a line cook. This was a tremendous experience and helped me learn so much about the industry.
