What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a food service role where I can use my ServSafe training, stay organized, and deliver friendly customer service—while learning from a team that values safety, cleanliness, and consistent production.

I’m an entry-level crew member with hands-on experience in grilling/frying and keeping a fast production line going. I took orders and payments, prepared food, and stayed on top of stocking and cleanliness to keep service smooth.

I also bring food-safety training through ServSafe Manager/Handler and ServSafe Covid Safety, plus practical culinary experience from a 9-week internship at Sarkozy’s Bakery. Outside of work, I’ve built confidence through SkillsUSA culinary competition, 4-H poultry and cake decorating, and customer-facing volunteer work.
