Summary

Recently relocated to San Diego and seeking a serving position. I bring several years of experience across diverse restaurant environments, including two years at my previous role, where I learned a lot about how restaurants work, filling in multiple positions during my time there. Reliable, adaptable, and teamwork oriented, I excel in fast-paced settings and am eager to grow from my experience bussing and hosting into a bar-back or serving role.
