Summary

I love to be in the hospitality business and am passionate about serving guests in a professional and friendly manner. I want to enhance the experience of anyone I serve and make sure they have an enjoyable time, accomplishing this with a happy and positive attitude. I have a lot of experience in the service industry and am hard working with a strong work ethic. I get along great with others and am a detail-oriented team player along with being trustworthy and reliable. I am a very strong person physically and mentally and have the ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy.

I was born and raised in Alaska. I am very active with many hobbies and love being outdoors experiencing fun activities and enjoying what nature has to offer with my family. Being a mother has been the most rewarding and loving experience. It has also taught me patience, compassion and loyalty.
