I build consistent, high-volume kitchen operations through precise prep, service execution, and food-cost awareness.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've built my culinary career in high-volume, scratch, and fine-dining kitchens, including Culinary Dropout, Jean-Georges' Amuse Bouche, North Italia, and Tito's Italian Eatery Pizza & Wine.
At Culinary Dropout, I worked sauté, grill, fry, and pantry during peak service and large events, supporting prep, product usage, and steady service flow. At Jean-Georges, I supported sauces, plating, and high-end menu preparation using premium seasonal ingredients.
I also bring operations and logistics discipline from serving as an Aviation Supply Specialist in the United States Marine Corps. I managed 30+ recurring reports, supported two audits, reconciled inventory, tracked aircraft parts, and trained two Marines on reporting workflows and accountability.
