What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my cooking skills in a supportive environment, with opportunities for growth and teamwork.

I am a dedicated cook with experience in food preparation and service. My journey began at the YMCA, where I supervised youth activities and ensured a safe and engaging environment. This role taught me the importance of teamwork and communication, skills I carry into every position.

As a cook and dishwasher, I honed my culinary skills by preparing meals according to established recipes and maintaining a clean workspace. I take pride in my ability to follow food health and safety procedures, ensuring that every dish is not only delicious but also safe for consumption. My attention to detail and commitment to cleanliness have been key to my success in the kitchen.
