What I'm looking for

I seek a supportive healthcare or senior-living setting where I can apply food-safety expertise, train staff, and improve resident meal satisfaction while growing professionally.

I am a dedicated dietary aide with hands-on experience preparing and serving nutritious meals while adhering to strict food safety and sanitation standards. I have supervised small teams, trained new staff on kitchen procedures and food-safety protocols, and used tools like Microsoft Excel to track inventory and improve operations.

I bring strong interpersonal skills developed in healthcare settings, a commitment to resident satisfaction, and a proactive approach to problem-solving and organization. I am completing an Associate Degree in Film and Media at Georgia State University (expected December 2025) and apply attention to detail and collaborative work habits to every culinary and care-focused task.
