Jaiyah Kimber (Serving Resume)
SUMMARY
I have had experience with serving ever since I was 7 years old. For many years I would work alongside my mom at a local mom and pop shop until I turned of legal age to be hired. I turned my experiences from there and let them branch into new restaurants, moving more upscale in setting, and becoming more knowledgeable about different foods, wines, and signature cocktail beverages.
