Summary

I am currently a senior in college at the University of Maine looking for a part time position to work both in the summer and during the school year. Serving my community and taking care of the people in it is very important to me, as my goal in life is to always have people leave interactions feeling better than they did before engaging with me. I have worked in the customer service industry, specifically the food service industry, for a few years now and have a lot of experience handling both food and drinks. I genuinely thrive in fast paced environments that require quick thinking and flexible problem solving. I have a lot of experience with providing top-tier service during both large and small events, and I utilize my communication and organizational skills to ensure smooth operations. I have also had a lot of experience with very high stress situations during my time as a Psychiatric Technician, and am able to work very well under pressure and with escalated individuals. I am an adaptive team player with a passion for providing excellent, quality customer service!
