What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a guest-first hospitality role where I can thrive in high-volume settings, support a welcoming team, and keep service smooth and accurate—whether handling tables, events, or front-desk and ticketing needs.

I’m a hospitality-focused server who delivers attentive, upbeat service in fast-paced, high-volume environments. I’m comfortable managing up to 15 tables at once, stepping in with bar operations when needed, and using conversational Spanish to support communication in a multilingual team.

I also bring event and customer-service experience—setting up and breaking down event spaces, coordinating smoothly with event managers and kitchen staff, and staying calm and courteous under pressure. Beyond the floor, I’ve handled front-desk workflows using POS systems and supported patrons through ticket sales and subscriptions, backed by a BFA in Theatre with a Musical Theatre emphasis.
