Thank you so much for reviewing my information. In short, people are my passion. My entire life and work history reflects the joy and commitment that I have in serving and caring for others. I love the diversity and enrichment that I have experienced in the past 20+ years of motherhood, serving tables, senior care and personal training. They have all brought something very special to my life and have inspired me to return to both school and work. It is my desire to continue to work with and for people as a server. I am punctual, customer service orientated, reliable and a team player. I have a valid drivers license, dependable vehicle, a current OLCC alcohol server permit, Oregon food handlers card and I am CPR certified. Thank you so much for this opportunity, I hope my qualifications peak your interest & I welcome the opportunity to answer any questions that you might have.
