Crawfordsville

Summary

I've had a variety of different tasks with my work experiences. All of which have been in a restaurant. I've done just about everything besides management. No matter the task I can work independently or on a team. Customer service has been a huge part of my work history. My educational background includes getting my GED/HSE in 2016. Most recent, Associate's Degree in Applied Science for Business, completed online with Independent University in Salt Lake City Utah. Graduated with my degree in October of 2020. Though I have mostly worked in restaurants, I wanted to get a degree that opened up more and better opportunities. I am a quick learner and have gained a great work ethic along with some other great qualities you would look for in an employee. All I need is a chance to prove myself.
