Summary

Customer service professional with 4 years experience in the business. I take pride in providing excellent customer service and creating a rapport with guests that they remember. I am enthusiastic and reliable. I maintain a focused and positive attitude in stressful situations and high-volume environments, and enjoy the challenges that this type of work has to offer.

I am passionate in helping people feel that they are cared for and welcomed at all times. That is why I have chosen to remain in the customer service industry, and why I plan on helping others through direct patient care as a nurse.
