Prep Cook

I attended Pennridge High School in Perkasie Pennsylvania and graduated with a 3.8 GPA. I was interested in art, and played viola with the orchestra for 10 years.

I have been an exemplary, reliable and long-term employee at each and every job, filling at one point or another, every position available in an industrial kitchen.
