Summary

I am an experienced professional offering over 22 years working in the airline industry. My Flight Attendant experience includes a strong dedication to safety and customer service. I take pride in being a smart, polished representative for the airline industry with dynamic interpersonal skill. I am a flexible hard worker ready to learn and contribute to team success.

I have been a flight attendant for most of my adult life beginning my career with Midway Airlines and then with United Airlines. You will notice in my resume there is a break in time from flying. This time was spent owning my own business and being a full time care taker for my parent fighting Alzheimer's disease.

This time period would be from 2010-present. I would be happy to discuss and answer any questions about my business endeavor and what my roles were as a business owner.
