Summary

I’m a highly adaptable team player with a strong work ethic and a deep commitment to food safety and preparation. I thrive in fast-paced environments where attention to detail matters, especially when it comes to creating a clean, efficient workspace. I genuinely enjoy working with people and take pride in offering great customer service, whether that means jumping in during a rush or helping a guest feel heard. With experience balancing multiple roles, I bring reliability, flexibility, and a positive attitude to every shift.
