Summary

I work well under pressure, it helps that I think critically and logically during stressful situations. I have to keep busy whether that be by myself or in a group effort, I am quick to jump in and get the job done. I pride myself on providing quality service and making sure I provide an excellent work experience for myself and the people around me. I am very comfortable handling money, food, and the needs of people (animals) around me. I have a wide range of job experience as I feel there is always something new to learn no matter where you're at. My desired working environment is somewhere where I can show off my hard-working, bubbly, and dependable personality.
