Dear Hiring Manager,

With a strong educational background in Business Administration with a specialization in Food Business Management, along with practical experience in culinary arts, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute my skills and expertise to your team.

As a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, I hold both a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, Food Business Management, and an Associate Degree in Culinary Arts. My academic achievements were recognized with the CIA Excellence Award and CIA Recognition Award, reflecting my dedication to excellence in both theoretical knowledge and practical culinary skills.

Throughout my education, I have completed various college courses relevant to food service management, strategic business planning, hospitality, finance, and human resource management. These courses have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the industry and prepared me to excel.

In addition to my academic achievements, I have gained valuable hands-on experience in culinary arts through various roles in high-end culinary establishments. My experience as Chef de Partie at Junsik, a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Tribeca, New York, has honed my skills in food preparation, organization, and team leadership. I have a proven track record of effectively coordinating a team to ensure smooth operations and uphold the highest standards of food quality and service.

Furthermore, my experience as an Extern at The Surf Club Restaurant in Surfside, FL, and as a Pass and Expeditor at The Bocuse Restaurant in Hyde Park, NY, has provided me with a deep understanding of kitchen operations, food safety standards, and customer service excellence.

Thank you for considering my application. I am eager to discuss how my skills and experiences align with the needs of your team further. I am available for an interview at your earliest convenience.

Warm regards, Daniel Gavaghan
