Summary

I have a wide range of work experience due to my ever-increasing interest in many different subjects. My obsession with cooking and serving stems from my desire to make people happy. My appreciation for people crosses over into my customer service. My style is genuine and helpful without being intrusive. I make myself available for both customers and my fellow employees.

Decades of training in kitchens has instilled great habits within me. I love to work, need to stay busy and am ALWAYS on time or early. ALWAYS. I understand that this is competitive work world and show my loyalty in every way I can when hired.

I look forward to our interview and hope I'm a good fit for Total Wine and More.
