What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a dynamic organization that values quality and safety, offering opportunities for growth and development.

I am a dedicated and versatile professional with over 4 years of experience in food service, production, and customer service. My journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in food safety, stock management, and production reporting. I take pride in my attention to detail and my commitment to maintaining high standards of cleanliness and efficiency in every task I undertake.

Currently, I serve as a Sauces Station Specialist at Big Square, where I expertly prepare a variety of sauces and ensure compliance with food safety regulations. My proactive approach has led to significant waste reduction and zero food safety incidents, showcasing my ability to optimize production processes while adhering to strict hygiene standards. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am eager to contribute to a dynamic organization where I can continue to grow and add value.
