Summary

Driven by integrity and adaptability, I excel in transforming challenges into achievements. At PG Park & Rec, I spearheaded initiatives that significantly enhanced member retention and satisfaction. My blend of strong customer service acumen and a knack for optimizing operational efficiencies—coupled with a gentle, empathetic approach—makes me a versatile asset to any team.

I was a leader while in the Air Force and the go-to person for answers due to my ability to say what it is without hesitation. They currently have pictures of me Offutt Field House in the dinning facility serving patrons.

I took pride in being able to prove my word at a moments notice.

Skills

    My top skills are fundamental aspects and characteristics that make me above average

    Such characteristic include:

    1 My integrity I take pride in telling the truth when no one is looking and I go out my way to make that known about me

    2 Versatility / Adaptability I am not afraid of failing I understand that everything has a method and it simply requires application to learn said methods no matter what they may be I love being outside of my comfort zone Constantly evolving, forever a student

    3 Gentle / kind nature I'm a empath So I always consider others even when I think about myself I realize that I am the main character in my story but that does not solidify me being superior to anyone else

    4 Artist My main skills that I'm passionate about do not pertain to the field of work being pursued but I think it's worth mentioning that I am a artist at base I am a street dancer, martial artist, mc but I don't think I will need to use any of those skills for the job I mention with the intention of building rapport with whom ever may be reading this
