About Me
I graduated from Stone Memorial High School in Crossville, TN. During high school I was a Co-President of the Pep Club, as well as member of Math Club and Political Club. My responsibilities within the Pep Club were to Schedule tailgates, pep busses, and themes. I also had come up with ways for us to raise money for the club as well as making sure everyone involved in the student section to know the regulations of TSSAA.
Ever since the age of 13, I have worked in various family Mexican Restaurants positions varying from busboy, host, cashier, and server. I've learned so much through working at such a young age such as the importance of work ethic, managing money, being responsible and accountable. I've also have gained solid skill in customer service like how to respond to fast-paced environment and help create a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere for the clients during peak and rush times. Also ensuring orders, seating, and questions are communicated between servers, cooks, and managers to guarantee a time-sensitive workflow.
Hobbies of mine when I am not working or at school are going out with friends, hiking, driving, going to overlooks. I also enjoy playing sport video games like FIFA, Madden, UFC, and 2K NBA.
