Summary
Aloha,
With a diverse background in bartending, event coordination, and customer service, I thrive in creating memorable experiences for all types of guests—whether it’s a sports fan at Belushi’s Gare du Nord, a family on vacation at Club Med La Palmyre, or a VIP at a high-profile event in Paris. From handling busy crowds to offering a personalized touch, I know how to make people feel welcome and well taken care of. Fluent in English and French, I’m comfortable serving international guests and adapting to a variety of cultural needs. My experiences as a volunteer firefighter and gardener have also taught me how to stay cool under pressure and handle anything that comes my way with a smile. Looking to bring my adaptable service skills and good humor to a new opportunity in Hawaii, with the added benefit of seeking H-2B visa sponsorship.
Mahalo in advance for your consideration of my application.
