Summary
As a service professional with a strong history of customer-facing roles across various sectors, including retail, libraries, automotive, and community services, I am a motivated and dependable individual. I handle myself well in pressure situations where staying calm is a must. I problem-solve quickly and communicate well with many kinds of people. My public outreach skills serve me well in all my jobs. I am comfortable using basic technology in a retail setting, such as mobile payment systems. In all positions, I am a fast-paced multitasker who delivers on promises and maintains a sharp focus on the communities I serve. I am excited to bring these attributes to help serve the Seafood Department at Kroger.
