Objective
Hospitality professional seeking to obtain a position in a successful and well-respected establishment that will utilize my extensive restaurant and bar experience. My passion for food and beverage is matched by my dedication to teamwork, excellent guest service and a job well done. A stable and consistent environment with the opportunity for growth is where I find myself thriving.
Professional Profile
I began my career in the restaurant industry pursuing a culinary degree in Illinois where I trained at College of Dupage. Subsequent responsibilities in the kitchen include: chef de tournant, menu planning, purchasing, wine pairing, and daily specials. After moving to Wisconsin, I interned on an organic farm (Harmony Valley Farm) where I provided lunch and dinner 6 days a week for the farm staff, I inventoried and harvested the produce, and interacted with other local farms. My experience performing as a catering supervisor for several valley chefs in private homes (supervising a staff of up to 15) speaks to my ability to perform at a high level of service in various environments.
