Summary

I’m a resourceful and competent young adult, passionate about learning about the world around me, and how to do new things. I’m polite, reliable, hard-working, good with my hands, responsible, and I love a challenge. I am looking for an opportunity to be helpful, service-oriented, and to use my people skills, can-do attitude, and abilities to make a difference. I always keep my head down and complete any task given to me to the best of my abilities. I have worked for many years in hospitality, and I am now ready to expand my knowledge to sales.
