As a dedicated and classically trained culinary professional based right here in St. Augustine, I have long admired the vibrant, high-caliber culinary circuit that defines our historic region. With over eight years of hands-on experience mastering the grill and high-volume lines at some of our area’s busiest mainstay kitchens—including The Floridian and Catch 27—I am eager to connect with premier local dining establishments seeking an elite Line or Grill Cook to strengthen their team.

Throughout my career, I have thrived in the fast-paced environment that defines St. Augustine's premier dining spots. In my current role as Lead Line Cook at The Floridian, I successfully manage the wood-fired grill, executing hundreds of precisely cooked proteins each night. My ability to remain calm under the pressure of ticket spikes, paired with a deep understanding of local seafood fabrication and temping, has allowed me to consistently decrease ticket times while maintaining flawless quality and plate presentation.

Beyond my execution on the line, I bring an Associate degree in Culinary Arts Management and a current ServSafe Manager certification. I pride myself on maintaining an immaculate station, minimizing food waste through strict inventory tracking, and fostering a collaborative, positive environment among the kitchen staff. I am always eager to bring this same energy, precision, and respect for ingredients to a quality-driven line.

Thank you for your time, consideration, and for reviewing my professional portfolio. I welcome the opportunity to connect or schedule a kitchen stage to demonstrate how my culinary skills and high-volume experience can support your kitchen's continued success.
