What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles that value safety, reliability, and craftsmanship—construction, maintenance, or kitchen positions with clear procedures, teamwork, and opportunities to apply mechanical and equipment-operating skills.

I am a detail-oriented kitchen operator and construction laborer with over 15 years of hands-on experience across food service, maintenance, and industrial mechanic roles. I combine strong customer-service instincts with practical skills in heavy equipment operation and electrical systems.

My background includes extensive work operating power tools and heavy machinery, performing concrete and masonry tasks, and supporting plumbing, HVAC, and electrical installations under licensed professionals. I have a track record of maintaining safe, organized job sites and following blueprints and schematics precisely.

In food service, I have worked as a line cook, prep cook, server, and hostess where I consistently maintained clean work areas, supported event execution, trained new staff, and delivered positive guest experiences. I pair kitchen discipline with measurable upselling and operational contributions.

I am committed to quality craftsmanship, workplace safety, and efficiency. I bring mechanical knowledge, precision measuring ability, and strong teamwork to roles that require reliability and physical stamina.
