Summary

Versatile and dedicated professional with a rich blend of experience across customer service, youth development, and coaching. With several years of experience as a server, I have honed my ability to manage multiple tables in high-pressure environments, ensuring timely and efficient service while delivering a positive dining experience for all guests. I am adept at handling complex orders, resolving issues swiftly, and maintaining composure in fast-paced situations, all while upholding high standards of hospitality.

In addition to my serving experience, I have worked as a youth development professional, where I excelled in creating and facilitating programs that engage and inspire young people. My role involved mentoring youth, building their leadership and interpersonal skills, and fostering an inclusive and safe environment. I am passionate about youth empowerment and adept at guiding individuals through personal and social challenges, helping them unlock their potential.

As a coach, I bring strong leadership and communication skills to the table, with a focus on teamwork, strategy, and individual development. I have experience coaching various age groups and skill levels, and I pride myself on creating an encouraging yet disciplined atmosphere. My approach is centered on personal growth, resilience, and fostering a love for the game, while also prioritizing teamwork and mutual respect.

I thrive in roles that require multitasking, problem-solving, and a strong commitment to serving others, and I’m passionate about creating positive experiences—whether that’s in a restaurant, a youth development setting, or on the field.
