Summary

Working or volunteering with the public for the last 21 years has given me a love for people. I will learn quickly, have a good attitude, do my best, but most of all I will love on your customers. I will make them feel seen and heard. Knowing that when they come in to see us, they will have in me someone who cares and is invested in their well being. I love establishing relationships with people. Connection and fellowship are vital for the human condition. I believe these are the keys to having not only return customers, but loyal and trusting return customers. They will know nothing but kindness and compassion from me. I have many chronic illnesses that have had me in pain since I was 8 years old. This has given me an unique perspective and ability to empathize with daily struggles. I believe with these skills, knowledge, and a general can do attitude. I will be a great addition to your team.
