I am a dedicated professional with over 8 years of seasonal work experience, consistently working 60-70 hour weeks for 4 months each year to support my studies at Western Washington University. Balancing rigorous academic subjects with a demanding work schedule has helped me develop a strong work ethic. During my free time, I took every opportunity to ski, further developing my resilience and ability to manage multiple responsibilities. While this experience has honed my focus and discipline, I am eager to transition into a role that fosters creativity and allows me to collaborate with individuals who share a passion for adventure and living life to the fullest.
As a shuttle driver for Summit Express, I was responsible for inspecting the vehicle before each trip to ensure safety and reliability. I transported guests from their designated pickup locations to the airport and provided return service to Summit County or Eagle County. I performed these duties in all weather conditions while maintaining a calm demeanor and delivering excellent customer service. My greatest achievement at Summit Express was maintaining a safe driving record and receiving numerous positive reviews from satisfied guests.
Over the past few summers, I have held several seasonal positions, but working at the shellfish farm has been the most rewarding. My responsibilities included harvesting oysters and clams while ensuring sustainable production for future seasons. One of my key achievements in this role was independently managing a dynamic work schedule, with start times ranging from 2 AM to 9 AM, demonstrating adaptability and strong time management skills. During my busiest season, I harvested approximately 8,000 pounds of clams throughout three and a half months.
As a server, I am responsible for providing excellent customer service by taking orders, delivering food and drinks, and ensuring a positive dining experience. My duties include greeting guests, answering questions about the menu, handling special requests, and coordinating with kitchen and bar staff to ensure timely service. I also maintain cleanliness in my section and process payments accurately. Strong communication, multitasking, and attention to detail are essential in delivering a high-quality experience for every guest. My greatest achievement was successfully completing a 16-hour shift while generating nearly $3,700 in sales for the restaurant in a single day.
