PROFILE
I’m a Zambian man who has gained a lot of knowledge and experience. I like interacting with
the guests, that way I’m assured of what the guests really want to eat and how they want their
food prepared. I’m always trying out new things in order to improve my skills and always
opened to learn new things. I’m always punctual for work and always willing to work some
extra hours just to make sure I leave everything in order. When given a task I always do it on
time and I do it to perfection. I’m always willing to walk an extra mile when it comes to my
work.
