Work Experience

Food Service What’s Cookin’ October 2022 to Present

Began working two days each week as a dish washer. After a few months, I began working more doing food prep and then expanded to full-time as the Cashier during business hours and catering in the evenings and Sundays.

Note: In February 2022, it became necessary for me to provide care for my elderly father who became unable to walk unassisted and therefore could not drive. Unfortunately, he needed daily transportation for physical therapy, and I assumed the responsibility for driving him as well as all other care for both him and my mother including property and home maintenance. It was necessary to be with them overnight and during most days.
