Summary
A little bit about me; I’m a motivated people-first person with a background in fast-paced restaurant environments and love meeting new people. I’m known for staying calm under pressure, being patient, learning fast, and bringing good energy to every shift. Outside of work, I’m a creative at heart— and love writing music. Looking to bring some of the same drive and focus to a team that values hustle, and heart.
