Summary

I am a reliable, energetic self-starter with skills in management, retail environment, and a experienced receptionist. My number one strength is I have a very warm and charismatic personality, making a connection with just about anyone I interact with. During Fall 2018- Summer 2023 I was a stay at home mom to my son, which is one of the most important jobs out there. However, I love being back in a work environment. I am a people person, and it brings me a lot of joy making connections with customers, ensuring they have a place they look forward to coming into.
