Summary
I'm reliable, always on time, and will work hard. OPEN AVAILABILITY!
After working in a retail store, I realize how much I miss working with a culinary team. I'll be glad to join your team as a line cook, prep, or dish. I took some time off to focus on home improvement and visit with family from out of state, and am eager to return to restaurant work, 30-40 hours per week.
