Summary

Throughout 25+ years of work history, I have worked in almost every level of customer service. From restaurant busser, to server to hotel concierge to hotel guest services manager to being part of a public relations client service team to co-owning a retail / customer service based business.

I believe there are very few candidates with the varied and extensive knowledge and experience in Customer Service that I have ascertained.

I am completely confident that I would make an outstanding addition to the Uline Management Team.
