Summary
I began working at age 16 in a local bar and restaurant in Kennesaw, GA, where I gained hands-on experience in food preparation, portioning, and maintaining sanitation while primarily working as a dishwasher/line cook. After a little over a year, I transitioned to a Zaxby’s location near my home. I was initially hired as a front-of-house cashier before moving into a kitchen role shortly after, where I have now worked for approximately two and a half years. Through these roles, I have developed a strong work ethic, adaptability, teamwork skills, and experience in fast-paced food service environments
