Summary

I am currently working toward my degree in Hospitality Management, building on my background as an industrial engineer from Colombia. My goal is to open my own restaurant, and I am actively seeking new experiences that allow me to improve my skills and use my free time productively. I am highly passionate about the restaurant industry and always give 100% in everything I do. In addition to my technical skills, I excel at working in teams and possess strong interpersonal abilities, such as patience and effective communication, which enable me to consistently deliver excellent customer service.
