Summary

I am a hard working young future student who is enjoying her service in the food industry. I enjoy building relationships with my fellow co workers to smoothen in restaurant operations, as well as with my customers. I strive for new work experience still in the restaurant industry but away from the "All You Can Eat" world. I believe I have achieved the expectations placed for me and aspire for new knowledge. During my time outside of work, I enjoy volunteering within my community providing care for others. Professional establishments you may find me volunteering at are TheHub - a non profit establishment that supports and helps the less fortunate adult and youth get back on there feet. I have completed an in school and summer learning session at the Ontario Leadership Camp, as well as offered my help in the youth sports department with Dig Deep Sports and Knapper.
