Additional Information

I thrive in fast-paced environments where adaptability, problem-solving, and a friendly attitude make all the difference. Over the years, I’ve gained experience in nearly every area of customer service—retail, food service, and caretaking. I bring a strong work ethic and genuine enthusiasm to every role. Outside of work, I’m a proud dog mom and a nature lover who finds joy in the little things—whether it’s a great thrift find, a perfectly made cup of tea, cycling or a sunset hike. I’m always looking for new challenges, ways to grow, and opportunities to bring my skills and personality to a great team.
