Summary

Passionate team player of roughly 10 years of the service industry. Regardless of the position or role within that time, the personal objective has remained a constant. This is serving or facilitating positive experiences for people, analyzing different methods I can strengthen skills to complete tasks and or interpersonally grow, while creating or supporting an all inclusive environment with the community. I hope to channel what I've learned and skills I've instilled over time to the success of whatever position or endeavor I undertake.
