Summary

I have over 10 years of experience, including as a team member, cashier, receptionist, production line worker, barista, and a front desk agent. I can develop and maintain positive working relationships with coworkers, supervisors, and customers while effectively handling conflict situations. I work best when in a fast place environment, I’m not a fan of standing around, I’m always finding something to do. . I have an ability to adapt to new situations and I'm highly motivated and always prepared to undertake new challenges. I love learning new things, and once I learn something I’ll do it over snd over until I’m at my best. I'm a very self-motivated employee who is highly experienced in guest services and guest communications. I have a pleasant/outgoing/spunky/respectful personality. I have several talents in customer relations, bookkeeping, and problem-solving. I see myself as outgoing when greeting and communicating with others to maintain a positive atmosphere. I'm highly devoted to giving every customer/guest a positive and memorable experience when I’m interacting with them. I think my biggest strength would be working under pressure, adapting to new situations, and facing challenges to best enhance the company that I work for.
