Summary

I am a very driven leader. Customer/ guest service are my expertise. I enjoy engaging with staff implementing teamwork. I am also a self starter and able to work without direct supervision. My passion involves problem solving for others as well as guiding employees through certain tasks if they need help. I am highly proficient in schedule coordination, Microsoft office, staff training and development. I easily navigate through working under pressure as well as having deadlines. Adapting to new environments hasn't ever been an issue for me and I am easily trained.
