Summary
I’m a UCSC student looking for a part-time weekend job where I can bring my positive energy, reliability, and strong people skills. I’ve worked in a fast-paced restaurant as a host, and I spent the past year volunteering with a sea turtle research and coral restoration program. Those experiences taught me how to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and work well with all kinds of people. I’m passionate about my work, quick to learn, and always ready to help out wherever I’m needed.
