Summary
Hi there!
I'm Sophia. I'm a Massachusetts native, but I consider D.C. my home after living here for 7 years. You'll notice my resume has a fairly significant employment gap. This is because I was dealing with a medical issue for several years that is now resolved. During that time, I still did my best to stay active in my volunteer work for foster children and homeless women, and in the general DC social scene. I am extremely outgoing and passionate about engaging with my community, and am looking for a dynamic role where I can meet new people and build relationships. I am a huge fitness enthusiast and love spending time outdoors, and I would love a chance to work with you! Although I have not held this particular position in the past, I have experience in service, am a fast learner, and have a very flexible schedule. I would love to stop by the club to chat with a hiring manager if you have the time.
