Overview

I am a hard and dedicated worker who enjoys being in the kitchen. Whether for work or for play, cooking is my passion and I would love to put my skills and knowledge to use in a fast-paced workplace.

Teamwork Oriented

People are the heart of any job, and deserve the most amount of attention. Whether that's working in a team, serving a customer, or working as a leader/manager, I have work-related experience in all three.

Knowledgable & Open Minded

I have an excellent culinary foundation (see below), but I also happily remain open to learning new things. I am 100% willing to learn your way of cooking and I am able to accommodate your tastes and recipes. I know it is very hard to find someone who is both knowledgable and open to learning; I am able to be both.

Sanitary

Having both work-related experience and multiple certifications in food safety, I know that working in a clean and organized environment is paramount. I both understand and thrive in the fact that a clean and orderly workplace is a good workplace.

Experience

I have commercial food handling experience from North Italia, La Casita and Dominos, volunteer experience from the Good Neighbor Alliance, and personal experience from cooking for my family.
