Summary

Throughout my career, I have contributed positive business results through effective organization, prioritization, communication, and follow through. My skill set is ideal for bringing the results you desire to your business. In my role as a server I exercised a calculated and methodical approach to problem solving and insuring guests had the best experience possible. I also worked events and banquets, that allowed for group efforts and collaboration to ensure things ran smoothly and on time. I also have experience in retail and being a receptionist. I helped schedule appointments, organizing files, making sure calendars were up to date and accurate, and overall satisfaction of guests/clientele. I have always sought out the most practical and efficient ways to ensure the best possible outcomes not only for guests/clientele, but also for coworkers and mangment.
