Summary
I have honed the ability to work in fast paced environments using effective communication and movement. I am a quick learner and hard-working, I am able and willing to get the job done above and beyond expectations. Being resourceful and timely is crucial in a kitchen, and sometimes you have to work with what you got; I am excellent at problem-solving in these times and can work independently to get them done.
