Summary

As a current manager, previous bartender and cook, I have picked up many skills and habits that I can use in most if not all service industry positions.

Though I am still young and know I still have much more to learn, I have always tried to better myself at my work and everyday tasks. I have worked in the service industry almost exclusively, but have done many odd jobs related to many different things throughout the years. Thus feel like I can do whatever I set my mind to with drive, eagerness and a passion to learn.
