Summary
I am a hard-working professional seeking full-time employment with the Emerald Coast Fabrication. My foundation is in accounting and finance, but I also have over 4 years of experience in retail, hospitality, and manufacturing that I achieved while being employed under a family furniture store chain, a custom clothing company, and previously as an intern with the St. Joe Company. I enjoy connecting with clients and finding ways to improve their experience using my financial expertise, which has allowed me to thrive in these environments. My work experience, desire to help others, adaptability, and ability to collaborate well in a team setting will allow me to be an asset to the Emerald Coast Fabrication team.
