Professional Summary

I worked as a cashier at Showtime Cinema for my first job. It was a huge learning experience for me. After about a year of that, I got offered the job at Joe's Pizza and Pasta. I decided to work there because they offered me a bigger wage than Showtime!

I worked at Joes Pizza and Pasta for about a year! Due to COVID beginning in 2020 and the lack of knowledge about the virus we had, I requested a leave alongside many other employees, resulting in termination because they needed people that were willing to work during the COVID spike. With knowledge about the virus, and having the first dose of the vaccine, this is no longer a worry I have.

Over this past summer (2021) I began work at the Saint Nicholas Landmark, I had to leave due to moving back up to school. I have arrangements to work there over the summer again as well! This restaurant was a Brewery, so I have my Basset License, and I have brief knowledge about bartending!
