Kissimmee,FL

Summary

I thrive in roles that combine diverse skills and experiences, with a particular enjoyment in leveraging bilingual abilities and interpersonal skills in dynamic environments. Experience as a bilingual vacation manager and cast member at Disney World has honed the talent for creating engaging and memorable experiences for guests. Additionally, my role as a hospice nurse aide and interpreter for an independent healthcare provider has deepened the capacity for compassionate communication and providing support in sensitive situations. Organizational and operational skills from running a cleaning company highlight the ability to manage and streamline processes effectively. Overall, the forte lies in combining communication, management, and empathetic service to excel in diverse professional settings.
