MOUNT HOPE

Summary

To further develop my career as a chef, teacher, and mentor by using my experience, talent, qualification and skill to build a successful, results driven business while motivating and inspiring my team and co-workers to do the same.

Highly motivated individual with strong organizational skills. I always begin any undertaking with the end result or finished product in mind in terms of building relationships, developing people, coaching, team building, and client interaction with a high focus and attention to detail. I love working with motivated people and teaching. I believe mistakes are an opportunity to learn from and grow. There is a great sense of accomplishment that comes from teaching people the fundamentals, celebrating success, and watching as they strive for better.
