Summary
Dedicated worker with over 4 years of experience putting hospitality and customer service at the forefront of every interaction. Born and raised native to the Island of Hawaii, my knowledge for culture/language has enabled me to effectively tackle both language/cultural barriers in the workplace. Starting my own photo/video business at the age of 18, I am no stranger to the dedication and hard work it takes to make a company thrive. Living an active lifestyle with high drive and passion for life I bring a refreshing and positive energy to any work environment.
