Tenisha Anderson

Although I haven't worked in food service since I was a teenager I have worked in several fields that demanded a high level of customer interaction and maintaining a pleasant experience for them. I am a dedicated team member and a quick learner. I know I perform my work to a high level of satisfaction and pride myself on my friendly demeanor.

I'm looking for work that has flexibility with a part time employee, but who is reliable, dependable and able to perform different tasks within the good description.
