Summary

Throughout my culinary career I have held many titles and gained experience in all levels of management. My skills include: communication, safety regulation, work delegation, time management, system optimization, and fluency in Spanish. I welcome extra job duties to better my team and achieve the businesses goals. I adapt quickly and thrive in a fast paced, high pressure environment where mistakes aren’t an option. I value continuing my education greatly as well as being hungry to learn as many new things as I possible can. Currently, I am seeking a full time position in a business where I can both learn and grow as a person.
