Summary
Got started in the Automotive industry with no knowledge or experience. Worked my way up to Store Manager within two years. I was able to take the worst performing store in the whole company from being in the red to being in the black. Through hard work and dedication I took that store from the bottom to being in the top 5 performers within a month

Kitchen Manager
Red Lobster
07.2013 - 05.2019
- I was hired as fry cook but quickly became expertly trained on all other positions in the kitchen within 3 months. I was promoted to a Certified Grill Master shortly after I was hired. It is now my responsibility to ensure all recipes and food safety regulations are being followed from prep to plate. I know every recipe by heart and it is my duty to train new employees and coach anyone who struggles along the way. One of my responsibilities is to know and understand how every piece of equipment works inside and out and know how to work around it when one of them fails. While working for Red Lobster I have developed an uncanny ability to think on my feet and come up with new creative ways to do things more efficiently.
