Experience

Valencia College
Sept 2021 - Apr 2023Culinary Kitchen Laboratory AssistantI was a lab assistant in the culinary kitchens at Valencia College. It was my responsibility to order food/items from Sysco and US Foods and receive/unload the truck weekly. I also made items such as purees, oat milk, creme fraiche, etc. for the Chefs to use in their instruction and prepped the kitchens for them each week. I prepared food, set up, served, and cleaned up for catered events. I also set up and cleaned up for visiting Chef demos. I was responsible for cleaning the kitchens daily and performing deep cleans as needed. I took inventory weekly and labeled/dated all food items and cleaned the freezers and refrigerators weekly. I checked all equipment to make sure it was working properly and sent off any equipment that needed repairs. I attended Board of Directors meetings and recorded the minutes. I assisted with Grand Buffet each semester by greeting guests, setting up and cleaning up for the event. Show less
