Summary

Basically raised in a customer service environment since a child I am accustomed to meeting customer satisfaction. As a server I believe myself to be Upbeat, friendly and engaging towards both my co-workers as well as my customers. the work environment is what you make of it so i push myself to make sure those around me are having a good time, I wouldn't feel good about my service unless I see that my customers are smiling. Spending a decade working in a popular restaurant I am used to managing and operating under stressful situations; no matter what obstacle is thrown in my way, I am confident to say I will overcome it. My biggest strength would have to be my communication skills, as i believe the best way to satisfy others is understanding another.

Music Production

Music to me is more than just a hobby, i believe it allows us to escape into our own little space. Right now I am still an amateur at producing music but i plan on building my knowledge and hopefully one day be able to offer the world what i have to offer.
