Food Server - Chili's Bar and Grill

Working as a server helped me sharpen the skills of listening, asking good questions, and excellent customer service. It has always been important to me to really hear what people want and need. I also love to invest and grow where I am planted, as this was my first job and I was with Chili's until my college internship and subsequent employment at The Crossing.
