Summary
I have a strong foundation in customer-facing roles across the restaurant and retail industries, I bring years of hands-on experience in communication, team collaboration, and customer service. From serving and hosting in fast-paced dining environments to managing operations in a retail setting, I've developed a solid understanding of how to work effectively with people and stay organized under pressure. Beyond my professional experience, I'm a passionate artist with a lifelong love for creativity. My journey into digital art began in high school, where I earned my first Photoshop certification and discovered the world of digital design. Since then, I've continued to explore and grow my artistic skills, always seeking new ways to create and learn. Being part of a cross country and track team in high school for three years instilled in me the values of discipline, motivation, and teamwork-qualities I carry with me in every role I take on. I'm always eager to learn, adapt, and contribute to environments where I can both apply my strengths and continue to grow personally and professionally.
