**************@*****.*** Tacoma, WA

OVERVIEW

Throughout the course of my working life I've learned the necessity of punctuality, dependability, and strong work ethic. I recognize the value of being a team player as well as being flexible and willing to do what is needed for my employers and coworkers to succeed. I can provide your company with several professional references that will speak to this. Along with multiple years of experience in the foodservice industry and a proficiency in crafting quality espresso beverages, I also possess a valid food handlers card and MAST permit. I hope to hear from you soon regarding any opportunities you have within your company!
