Summary

Since, my early 20's, I have worked on and off in the restaurant/hospitality industry. Not just in the food business, but as an Account Manager for Guess, a retail salesperson and a nursery school teacher. In all of these positions, I was either top salesperson, the favorite teacher and "hardest working employee". I am very comfortable in all social situations and I always build relationships that last forever. Whether I am working a wedding, office holiday party or a management luncheon any work, I always have a smile on my face and, more importantly, so do the my guest. My goal is create a memorable and delightful experience. Although, I took time off to raise 3 kids, the second I went back into the work force, I was recognized for my hard work and professionalism. I have years of experience as a waitress, hostess and manager. I am highly motivated, organized, dependable candidate, able to manage multiple task for small and large events. All of my past employers have talked to me about some type of promotion. While working for the various Temporary employment agencies, I have been approached about being a permanent employee.
