Summary

Aloha! I’m Lindsay. A little about me:

I quit my corporate Retail Sales position to live life to the fullest and pursue work outdoors.

I believe I’m a great candidate for Halekulani due to my broad range of experience in many different fields and industries, my intrapersonal skills, my ability to be a team player and leader both, and my gift of interacting, coaching, and empowering others.

I am an organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude, possess a self motivated mindset, and have a willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals.
