Summary

I am a dedicated hard-working chef who has had 17+ years’ experience in the hospitality industry. I have worked in a varied range of work places including nursing home, commercial and child care kitchens. My previous experience has allowed me to learn a wide range of skills and techniques. I have worked in environments that cater to both young and elderly and understand the needs of catering to each individual. My workplaces have also allowed me to develop my customer service experience and managerial experience in order to help reach personal and company goals. A long-term job that allows me to utilize my knowledge and experiences is a job I would be fully committed to.
