I have been performing as a professional musician for the past 10 years, but have always been passionate about the service industry; particularly the restaurant industry. I have years of experience in customer service, and for the past 10 years my experience in the music performance field has enhanced my communication skills and my ability to interact with others in a personable and attentive manner.
I am currently a professional opera singer, free lancing with opera companies in the US and in Europe. As a singer I am expected to interact with donors that have very important financial relationships with the companies I work with, which has provided me with excellent social and interpersonal communication skills. As a professional performer I am used to a very fast paced and high stress level job which requires you to think and react on your feet constantly.
