Summary
I have been working in restaurants and coffee shops for the last 7 years. I try to provide a natural, friendly conversation with customers, coworkers, and employers while preparing the best quality of food and beverage. I keep calm under pressure and am very patient when it requires me to be. I will do everything I can to help our team perform as smoothly as possible.
