Skills
My work ethic as a manager has honed my leadership and communication skills. I have succeeded in leading by example and with integrity. I believe in creating professional
positive and productive relationships with my co-workers and supervisors.
I have a great passion for food. I have worked in various culinary environments almost most of my career starting at the age of 11 working on my Family’s Chili Farm
then washing dishes or frying up tortilla chips at my Grandparents café. I have a great desire to learn and share my culinary and managerial talents. My skill here is my eagerness to learn more.
As mentioned earlier
I have been working since I was very young. I am prompt and consistent in all my activities. I pride myself in showing up to all my shifts on time and ready for work.
As a former Kitchen Manager and General Manager
I feel my past work ethics have taught me to appreciate the entire stage of the process from receiving to the final plate presentation.
Interests
I have been a single parent raising two children for the last 15 beautiful years. I recently relocated to Denver
CO in March of 2019 to pursue my career aspirations that I put on hold while raising my children.
I look to eventually get back into the field of management
after working my way up through the ranks proving my worth through hard work
dedication and showcasing my abilities and skillset.
My Hobbies include sport activities
biking
hiking
football
basketball
baseball
swimming
eating.
I’m also an indoor person who loves movies. Having been very involved with my church serving as a Church Council member and assisting in the confirmation classes and youth group activities has made me a better person who is responsible and accountable.
