Professional Experience
DuPage Forest Preserve District (Food & Beverage Department) 2014-2014
Interned as an event attendant and worked directly with guests. This entailed setting up the
buffet, ensuring we had optimal seating, and helping ensure we had the proper amount of food
and it was suitable to our guests. I would set up the buffet line, constantly checking in with
guests, and break down the buffet line. I also worked directly with my supervisor to learn
inventory, scheduling, and ordering.
Comfort Inn and Suites (shadowing) Fall Semester 2014

managerial duties, the front desk, laundry, and maintenance. I worked with the night auditor
several times. I am confident with checking guests in and out of the facility.
Olive Garden (Host/ Server) 2011-Present
Greeted guests and sat them in tables or waiting areas. I handled a section of tables on my
own. This included taking orders, serving, and cleaning the area for the next guests to arrive. I
used my time effectively to ensure my customers were happy, as well as having my section
clean and taken care of.
Noodles & Company (Cook/ Ambassador) 2009-2011
