Summary

A motivated and enthusiastic individual seeking an entry-level bartender position where I can leverage my strong communication, customer service, and multitasking skills. Eager to learn and grow within the hospitality industry and contribute to a positive bar environment. I have obtained my MAST 12 card through “Cheryl’s Last Call” and also have an up-to-date food worker card (2025-01-18). I was hired as a helper trainee into Shop 38, Marine Machinery Mechanics, at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in 2019. The majority of my career working in shop 38 has been working on the Sail Team; I now have extensive experience working on a variety of Sail components and am rotated to projects on an as needed basis. I had recently taken on the additional role of the Sail Team Process Improvement representative, working on updating existing standard work documents and creating new standard work documents for Sail Team work. I also work closely with the Sail Team CTD (Continuous Training and Development) Program to help standardize current work processes and best practices. My current role as a Process Improvement representative mainly involves managing all the standard work documents available to the sail team. I continually review these work documents for needed updates, technical compliance, and ensure the waterfront teams find them useful and informative. I am often consulted by crews when they are preparing for sail team work and when performing/documenting first time work. Prior to working at PSNS I worked customer service in various roles. I have always enjoyed helping others and am continuously focused on my own personal and professional development. I enjoy working in process improvement because I get the opportunity to help develop new mechanics and develop standard work documents that will help mechanics in the future. I feel that my experience at the shipyard as well as my prior experience in customer service will translate well in this industry. I hope that my resume provides valuable insight into my professional experience. Thank you for taking the time to consider me for this position, I look forward to meeting with you.
