Summary

With over 5 years of customer service experience, and just under 3 years of serving and bartending under my belt, I have ranked as a top sales performer at Joey Manhattan Beach. I have been an actor for over 10 years, which I have found to be a great resource in all avenues pertaining to my work/life balance. I love what I do, and genuinely value the guest's feedback and experience. I find myself to be a compassionate and highly motivated individual, and believe I can be an asset to any team, in any position.
