Summary

I’m a reliable and adaptable worker with experience in teamwork, problem-solving, and staying organized. I take pride in doing quality work and bringing a positive attitude to everything I do.

I studied Interior Design at Kirkwood Community College. I enjoy working with clients to create spaces that feel both functional and visually appealing.

In hospitality, I’ve helped greet guests, manage reservations, and keep spaces clean and organized. I enjoy working in hotels, whether its cleaning or customer service, and always aim to make sure guests have a great experience.

I'm interested in current world events and always stay informed. I want the best for others and I help in any way I can. I believe in the Golden Rule: "Treat others the way you want to be treated."

As a gymnastics coach and former gymnast, I’ve worked closely with young athletes to help them build confidence, improve their skills, and stay safe. I make sure to keep a supportive, encouraging, and fun environment where gymnasts can grow.

I’m a certified lifeguard with training in water safety and emergency response. I stay calm under pressure and work well with others to keep everyone safe.

I’ve had experience working directly with customers through food sampling and product demonstrations, where I focused on being friendly, informative, and approachable.

In hospitality, I’ve helped greet and seat guests, manage reservations, and keep spaces clean and organized. I’m dependable, a strong team player, and always aim to make sure guests have a good experience.
