Summary

Working in customer service at the age of 15 for 8 years has made me a distinct individual and encouraged my work ethic and role as a leader for all my teams at each and every job. Job instillations, hospitality, professionalism, and so much more has been at the peak of my ability since the year 2018 when event instillations was presented to me. The competence to lift, communicate fluently both verbally and written and my certifications which range on a spectrum from heavy machinery to customer care and hospitality have given me the confidence to take on larger roles and exceed expectations from any company.
