Work History

Cocktail Server/ Steakhouse Host

Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady
2018.04 - 2024.04

While working at Rivers Casino and Resort, my job duties as a Steakhouse host included greeting and seating guest upon arrival. Host duties also included taking orders from customers who wished to put in to go orders. While at Rivers Casino and resort, I also worked as a cocktail server. As a cocktail server, duties included greeting costumers who are actively on the game floor and taking drink orders from those customers. Other duties included assisting guests with questions on different specials going in within the casino. April 2022, I became union delegate for the beverage department. I enjoyed being able to provide my co workers with important information pertaining to their job duties. I also believe that it was important to have consistent positive communication with upper management and being a union delegate kept communication with management consistent.

Accomplishments

Employee of the year for Rivers Casino and Resort in February of 2022.

Skin Care

I am extremely interested in the upkeep of skin care. I believe that it is extremely important to take care of one of the most important  and largest organ your body has. On my free time, I enjoy researching different skin care routines for different skin care types. 

Volunteering

Since I was younger, I have always enjoyed volunteering and giving back to the community any way that I can. As a child, I would volunteer at soup kitchens around the holiday season. More recently, I have engaged with organizations that emphasized on awareness for both Alzheimer's and Breast Cancer.
