Faith Sambakunsi
Summary
Motivated and goal-oriented college student at Grand Canyon University on a scholarship pursuing a degree in Accelerated Nursing (ABSN), with a strong foundation in hospitality, leadership, communication, comprehension, and teamwork. I have demonstrated the ability to learn new skills quickly, multitask, work as a team, keep organized, communicate, and still prevail through coursework and hands-on experience in school, clubs, and past jobs. I am proficient in technology such as POS screens, etc, and I carry my Arizona and California Food Handlers Card and BLS certification (CPR). I am so eager to apply my academic knowledge and develop new skills in a challenging, real-world environment.
