Summary

Hello, I'm Emmilee! I'm 30 years and am looking for part time, evening work while going to school. I have had quite a number of seasonal work experiences which I have not listed here, as I have done a lot of travel over the last several years and some of these date back too far.(I am happy to share more about these experiences, some of which were in the food service industry). Now, I have determined I want to settle down and pursue a degree in environmental science at the University of Oregon. I am hoping to gain more experience in food service. The idea of serving and/or bartending especially excites me, but I am open to other possibilities. I am a very versatile worker and an intuitive learner.
