Summary

I am a local of Santa Barbara. I have worked in various industries such as receptionist in nursing homes, associate at 711 convenience stores and a grocery store. I have worked at farms and as of late I work as a freelancer/ floral assistant. I am flexible and passionate about what I do. Because of my many years working with the public I consider myself to have very good customer service and very good attention to detail.
