Summary

I'm the person who sees a messy system and wants to make it run smoother. Whether it's in a restaurant, a team project, or a future finance role, I'm all about spotting what's not working, stepping up, and getting things done better. Versatile and motivated professional currently pursuing a degree in Business Finance at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I bring real-world experience from customer service, hospitality, and technical support, and I know how to stay focused and adaptable no matter how fast-paced or unpredictable the situation gets. I'm driven to solve problems early, keep things on track, and find better ways to get results. Strong communication, flexibility, and a solid work ethic are what I bring to every opportunity, while my long-term goal is to use those strengths to help businesses run smarter and smoother.
