What I'm looking for

I am seeking a reliable foodservice role where I can apply kitchen operations, food costing, inventory control, and dietary experience within a collaborative, service-focused team.

I am an experienced foodservice professional with a strong background in kitchen operations, food costing, inventory management, and ordering gained across hotels, restaurants, and catering roles. I bring high stamina, acute observational skills, and hands-on experience in baking, dietary services, and breakfast/housing support.

My career includes multi-year tenures at hospitality employers such as Delta Brunswick Hotel and several seasonal and contract roles including Whistler Roundhouse and Keltic Lodge, where I developed practical expertise in tracking, communication, and food safety practices. I completed cooking/catering training and coursework in advanced chemistry and biology, and I have formal food and beverage instruction.

I volunteer with the Wag Animal Shelter and value roles that let me apply operational reliability, attention to dietary needs, and practical survival skills. I seek positions where I can contribute to efficient kitchen workflows, cost control, and dependable service delivery.
