Summary
Hi, my name is Kim Barron and I’ve been in a high-paced restaurant management position for the last eight
years. Before that, I was a lead team member in similar fast-moving employment positions. My specialty is
finding creative and alternative solutions to potential problems while still allowing for things to run smoothly and
profitably. I am also very good at motivating personnel to want to excel at their job. I’m currently looking for a
new career path where the skills I have been fortunate enough to learn, and persistent enough to become
proficient in, will be equally beneficial for the company, the customer, the team, and myself.
