Batavia

Summary

Although I spent most of my career in the liquor industry, I worked such a variety of jobs that gave me lots of skills that are applicable to any other work space. I excell with communication, organization and leadership. I also have worked on raising coat drives, clothing drives and supply drives that benefited organizations such as the Midwest Veterans Homeless Shelter, the Salvation Army and other local charities. I worked with special needs kids all throughout high school in the Best Buddies program and have always felt like I had a calling to work with those less fortunate.
