Summary
An excited new start who is looking to take the next step forward in her career. Don’t confuse lack of years for lack of experience, she is ready to step forward to help make the workplace a better place. With years of culinary school, and experience in the field, she can handle any task you throw at her. Excellent at planning, organization, problem solving, and teamwork, she’d make a great fit as a manager.
Throughout her short time in the field, she has excelled at her job and her connections with co-workers. Helping run large catering events was just the start of her career, and she is more than ready to begin running them on her own.
