Sara Bowie

I have a lot of managerial experience, mostly in Food Service (Pizza). I have worked as a Shift Lead, Assistant Manager, and a General Manager. My recent venture was helping my friend open their own restaurant. I love customer service, but I work really well by myself. I have no problem meeting deadlines and milestones.
