Summary
I enhanced camper experiences at SONCCA by executing diverse activities and fostering an inclusive environment. I developed meaningful relationships with staff and the children I worked with. My background also includes improving child safety and social skills as a Babysitter, showcasing my ability to manage schedules and promote enriching activities effectively. I'm currently looking for a position in the food and beverage industry (barista, host or server.) My goal is to seek and maintain a full-time position that utilizes interpersonal skills, time management and problem-solving skills. I would make the perfect barista or waitress with my advanced people skills and welcoming demeanor.
