Objective: I am pursuing a different career path other than the food service industry. I bring a contagious positive energy to any team, and I am very dedicated to any job.

Major Accomplishments: I have worked for two different companies both for over seven years. I am never one to quit when things get hectic in the workplace. I am always ready for a challenge, and my upbeat, hard work ethic, and sense of demeanor can go a long way. I have been a great hospitality manager, working in guest recovery and satisfaction, as well as an efficient kitchen manager working in inventory, food cost maintenance, and loss prevention. I was a part of a team which turned a non-profiting restaurant into one of the leading stores in the franchise by doing things by the book, achieving goals, and doing whatever it takes to make sure the guest never suffers and always left happy with the intent to return.
