Summary

I'm 21 and emphasize on clear communication, understanding everyone and being on the same page to make sure things runs smoothly and effectively. Passionate for research and development to figure out new approaches to dishes, to then improve on concept dishes. Love to indulge in learning new information to apply to overall skillset, trying out new activities and ways of working to make life easier and convenient. Prefer to be friendly with everyone I meet, check in on mental well-being if need be so everyone can be as happy as they can be
