Summary

A resilient stroke survivor with a strong work ethic and a dedication to overcoming challenges, I am now seeking a new opportunity in the workplace. As a dedicated group fitness instructor, I successfully navigated health challenges and mental disability following a cerebrovascular event. Eager to transition into a new role, I am interested in contributing to a positive customer experience and mastering new skills at Mariano's. Known for adaptability, resilience, and a commitment to continuous improvement, I bring a friendly and outgoing demeanor along with exceptional teamwork skills. My strong drive to succeed makes me an ideal candidate for new challenges.
