Summary

I am a spirited and ambitious second year college student at the College of Charleston, where I'm perusing a degree in Communication and a minor in Marketing. Hailing from an all-girls high school, I joined a sorority known as Delta Delta Delta with whom I've found a greater sense of community. Embracing the sisterhood, I value the network it provides, and has helped me navigate the challenges of college while also fostering lifelong friendships. I have a strong background in customer service, hospitality, and communication. With a passion for creating exceptional experiences, I excel in fast- paced environments where interpersonal skills and attention to detail are paramount. My commitment to continuous improvement and enthusiasm for learning make me an asset to any team. I'm eager to leverage my skills in marketing and hospitality to contribute positively to an organization that values excellence in client interactions and service delivery.
