Jessica Capecea

Summary

Most of my recent skills are kitchen and food preparation oriented. I also maintain interpersonal skills. I work very well communicating with people in a polite and friendly manner. I have been told that i "light up" the room when I enter. With the bust life that I live, I have learned to multitask and reduce chaos. I have the necessary problem solving skills to work almost any job. I would like to obtain remote employment because we have recently added a fourth child into our family and childcare is difficult for us. Thank you for considering my employment with your company.
