Nov 2015 - May 2017
In November of 2015, I was given the opportunity to grow even further within the company by moving concepts and locations. I was transferred to Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen inside William P. Hobby Airport. At this location, I accepted a full time position with the company, and now have several new responsibilities. I am ranked #2 on my restaurant management team, which is just below General Manager. I am directly responsible for the training, education, development, and scheduling of all Back of House areas. These areas include; Busser, Dishwasher, Cook, and Prep. I am also directly responsible for purchasing for the entire restaurant, other than our Liquor, Beer, and Wine. I am also responsible for maintaining the safety standards of our restaurant, which includes many things, but not limited to self inspection of all safety hazards, fire safety equipment, and safety forms for incidents in the workplace. I am actively involved in staff development for all areas, but most importantly the development of our management team. I strive to learn and grow everyday in the workplace, and not only better myself, but the staff around me for everyone's benefit.

In this position, I grew the most in the shortest amount of time in my career with Pappas.
