Summary

Hello,


My name is Kayla Shipley, and I am actively seeking a part-time or full-time position where I can contribute my skills and experience in a dynamic and supportive environment. As a mother of three teenagers, I’ve honed my ability to balance multiple responsibilities, prioritize tasks effectively, and approach challenges with resilience and adaptability.


Over the years, I’ve gained diverse professional experiences, including roles in hospitality, caregiving, office administration, aesthetics, management, payroll, and scheduling. These experiences have equipped me with strong organizational, communication, and customer service skills, as well as a deep understanding of how to manage both people and operations efficiently.


After a year-long hiatus to care for my family following a tragic loss, I am eager to re-enter the workforce with a renewed sense of purpose and commitment. I am confident that my diverse background, combined with my ability to adapt quickly and thrive in different environments, will allow me to contribute positively to your team.


I would love the opportunity to discuss how my skills align with your company’s needs and explore how I can add value to your organization.


Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of connecting with you.


Warm regards,
Kayla Shipley
