Profile

I am a young college student with about * years of work experience and most of which involves being in the kitchen, or working in restaurant industry. Over the years my talents have developed and increased as each day I learn more and more to make my cooking more efficient. I want to keep increasing my knowledge about the food industry. I would love to use the knowledge to open a business and give back to my community or the homeless in many ways. I am always determined no matter the situation or the motive behind it, and always try to do my best without giving up every. I am a very self-reliant person and I love to help and give back to others even though I do not benefit from it. Have been studying and procuring a career in the hospitality industry since I was able to work. I’m currently enrolled in my second year of college at Ivy Tech Community College and am going for an associate’s degree in Applied Science of Culinary Arts. I have and can be traded for just about a job under the sun. I am a team player, love working together, and love learning how to do new things that can help me in life.
