NATHANIEL SULLIVAN

As it relates to kitchen work, my time as a tutor has served to improve my interpersonal skills of patience, kindness, and collaboration which has served as an invaluable asset in future jobs and other team environments.

• Reviewed new and old material to make sure I can assist with any topic of Math or Physics a student approaches me with
• Always kept a charismatic and patient attitude so students were comfortable and excited to learn and comeback again
• Conducted both group and individual study sessions
• Assisted with students on homework assignments and gave review lessons on topics they might have struggled with

As a kitchen manager I was responsible for food orders, maintaining food stock, keeping a clean, professional, and organized kitchen, and cooking/preparing food for over 300 people, three meals a day.

• Maintained a clean and safe work environment, adhering to all health department regulations and guidelines, earning an A grade on our inspection by the Iowa Department of Health
• Required efficient kitchen techniques to maintain enough production to feed all 300 people with a total of just 4 kitchen staff members
• Emphasized the importance of timing in a high production kitchen to ensure that all parts of the dish are slated to be ready precisely at the time of serving

Closing team leader for the Ready-to-Eat Foods and Large Order Preparation at the Hen House Market Delicatessen, then later promoted to the new position of shift manager due to leadership skills and mastery of kitchen knowledge.

• Held responsibility for ensuring all food preparation, cleaning, and miscellaneous kitchen tasks were completed on a daily basis by assigning tasks to team members according to their individual skills and preference

• Cashiered, bagged, reshelved, and presented a clean and organized store for the customers
• Handled customers with care and consideration, because Hen House has a predominantly elderly customer base, so friendliness and proactive helpfulness was a key part of my work routine
• Learned how to handle old machinery and POS systems
• Memorized product codes for fast and efficient check-outs.

• Tutored high school students (mainly those with adhd or other learning disabilities)
• Study Lab was a non profit organization that I provides kids with a distraction free and helpful environment to study or complete assignments.
