Summary

I have years of experience in many different fields, all challenging at first but all easily learned and mastered in no time. I have the most experience in culinary fields and customer service, but manufacturing, construction, cleaning, and even working on cars are all fields I can excel in. And when it comes to working with others -I know when to lead, and I know when to follow, and I am extremely welcoming of criticism.
