Kitchen Assistant

Summary

I am a very observant and mature individual, who has had a plethora of experience in working under fast paced conditions. I possess strong critical thinking skills, enabling me to thrive within any given environment and achieve success. One of my strongest skills is my ability to work within a team. As such, I am capable of taking the lead when I am a more knowledgeable member of the team but also stepping back and being willing to learn when something doesn’t fall directly into my area of expertise. Ultimately, I am looking to showcase my skills and dedication toward a career within the engineering trade whereby I can work to exceed goals and achieve perfection.
