Summary
I am a friendly and professional individual with 8+ years of experience in the food service industry, both in the front and back of the house. I’ve thrived in fast paced restaurants, high-end cocktail bars, and catering and special events. I’ve worked in a professional office setting for the past several years, but have taken a step back from that and am enthusiastic and committed to contributing to your restaurant, or special catering events.
