Summary

I moved from the wine country to to Truckee, in the late summer of 2019 and got a job at Cottonwood restaurant where I stayed until the pandemic shut it down. I was giving a great opportunity to work at a fast paced Italian restaurant called Zano's in Truckee as a waiter and bartender for the last 4 years. I went to college in SLO and would work at Zano's when home from college. I moved back to Tahoe in 2022 and worked as a bartender and waiter full time since coming back.I

have a letter of recommendation from the owners who have became like family to me over the years.

I am currently looking to further my experience in the food/hospitality industry as the owners of Zano's have retired. I'm an enthusiastic, dependable employee, I feel I would certainly be an asset to your team in whatever capacity is available.
