PERSONAL STATEMENT: I am committed to a long-term career within the hospitality industry. I am clear about the general direction in which I would like my career to move. My work experience to date has shown me that I have a lot to offer in team leadership, management and public relations. Personal and professional growth is very important to me. I have always set out to expand my knowledge, skills and abilities by taking every opportunity to acquire new experience and measure success by doing a great job and gaining new skills and competencies. I take pride in being able to work in a mature, adult manner. My natural tendency is to take responsibility for myself and those who I work alongside. I learn quickly and can work undirected/without supervision once I understand the job. I enjoy finding original and creative ways to do things. Once I understand the objective, I will find an appropriate way to achieve it.
