Professional Summary
I'm an amazing server and I love doing it. I started working in restaurants at 16 years old at Friendly's being my first official serving job. I enjoy working in restaurants and feel like it's my calling. Most people have no idea what they want to do with their lives that young but I just knew that working in restaurants made me happy because I'm such a people person, I love to talk, and I go above and beyond for my tables. I have tried various other things, but I always wound up going back to work in restaurants. Gordon Ramsey is the reason I fell in love with restaurants because it is my passion. Not the culinary part but the customer service part.
