Summary

Skilled in safe food handling and ingredient preparation, I have experience preparing ingredients, following recipes, cooking items and plating meals, as well as, holding a strong knowledge of food safety procedures.


Proven track record in enhancing operational efficiency, demonstrated at Lowe's Home Improvement through strategic sourcing and competitive bidding, reducing procurement costs significantly. Expert in equipment sanitation and fostering team contribution, I excel in environments requiring attention to detail and strong supplier relationships.


I am a happily married, born again Christian, who is family-orientated and a proud "Poppy". A strong team player, I try to always be willing to take on other responsibilities as needed. Maintaining a calm demeanor with a peaceful attitude, I feel that I would be well matched as a employ with Victory Christian Academy.
