Summary

I am an organized and motivated individual, eager to utilize time management and organizational skills across diverse settings. Seeking entry-level opportunities to enhance abilities while contributing to company growth.

I am an Innovative restaurant manager with 20+ years of food preparation and service experience. Motivates team members to meet challenging customer demands in fast-paced environments. Never sacrifices quality, safety or cost control measures vital to sustainable business operations.

Working as a leader for 20+ years in the hospitality industry has given me the opportunity to work with and mentor a range of people from age to cultures, those with physical disabilities to those with mental disabilities, community leaders to business leaders. My role has been most rewarding as well as challenging but knowing that as a leader I have made an positive impact in their lives, has opened my mind and heart to appreciate all walks of life and to interact and build long lasting connections

Our people are the future, as a leader it is my job to give guidance to have a positive impact and to make life long connections.
