Summary

I recently retired from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and after two months I realize that I miss contributing to organizational success.

I am seeking a position utilizing my customer service skills, effective communication, adaptability and strong work ethic. I am committed to providing a positive and memorable experience for every customer.

There are no limitations with my schedule and I'm able to work evenings and weekends.
