Summary

I am a positive, hardworking individual who has worked extensively with the public and I enjoy helping people and assisting them with their needs. The majority of my career has been spent working in the food industry, so I'm very familiar with the restaurant environment and many of the duties and requirements associated with food service. During my years as a hostess I learned various different skills including multi-tasking, communicating clearly and collaborating closely with co-workers. I'm dedicated to providing excellent customer service and bringing a team-player attitude to the workplace.
