Summary

A dynamic and reliable professional with a proven track record in the hospitality industry, I have excelled in creating memorable guest experiences by leveraging strong multitasking abilities and exceptional customer service skills. Many of these skills come from growing up in a family business in Hazel Green, Wisconsin. My family no longer owns that business, yet are still very active in working there day to day. That business is in a small town, about 1,200 people. Not only is my family and I still apart of the business, but we have been a big part of the community as well, from large Church events to helping a community member in need.
