Summary
Five star entertainer for 6 years+ of experience, acclaimed for costumer service and interpersonal skills, and able to adapt to hands on skills. My previous positions have allowed me to expand in my expertise in the sports programs and tour guiding, but as I move on in my career choices, I have diversified my goals. From experience in harness building and technical engineering in building courses and a buisness, I have always strived to go above and beyond to learn more.
