Summary
Proven to excel in fast-paced environments, I leveraged my GPS navigation and exceptional communication skills at DoorDash to enhance delivery efficiency and customer satisfaction. My dedication to maintaining a professional appearance and fostering strong relationships has significantly contributed to a loyal customer base, as well as a loyal restaurant relationship. A quick learner and dedicated team player, I consistently meet tight deadlines, ensuring high-quality service. Many of the same skills I have used in my Photography career. But photography doesn’t always pay the bills, so this is my day to day job. With my photography, I have taught myself over 25+ yrs different techniques, gear, editing skills, how to find clients, promote my self and I thrive on action based jobs. I love being busy all day, I excel at leadership and problem solving.
