What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level chef role in a collaborative, training-focused kitchen where I can apply hands-on cooking, food-safety expertise, and customer-service experience while growing into a professional chef.

I am a hard-working, easygoing entry-level chef trained in Central Texas Food Bank's Culinary Training Program, with hands-on experience preparing high-volume meals, following recipes, and maintaining Texas sanitation standards. I have guided volunteers, followed the Food Bank’s measurement standards, and communicated efficiently with kitchen teams to deliver consistent results.

With customer-service experience from multiple server and cashier roles and an ACF Food Handler certification, I combine front-of-house hospitality with back-of-house food preparation. I'm eager to join a collaborative kitchen where I can apply my cooking, food-safety, and training skills while continuing to learn and grow.
