Summary
I'm a hardworking, reliable individual focused on going above and beyond in the things I do. While I don't hold a degree, I believe my knowledge and business ownership experience to be invaluable. I’ve worked my whole life in customer service and 12 years in business administration. I particularly enjoyed payroll and am proficient at cash handling and banking. I’m good at dealing with interpersonal relationships within business and managing employees.
