United StatesWhat I'm looking for
As a dedicated customer service professional, I thrive in engaging environments, drawing from my diverse experiences in restaurants and educational programs. My journey has been marked by a commitment to enhancing customer satisfaction and fostering teamwork. I have had the privilege of working alongside Michelin star chefs, where I not only honed my skills in food service but also took on the responsibility of mentoring new team members, creating a cohesive and supportive work atmosphere.
My background in education has further enriched my professional ethos. At UCLA, I led film workshops that ignited student creativity and encouraged collaboration among aspiring filmmakers. My proficiency in French has allowed me to implement effective language acquisition techniques, significantly improving students' speaking and comprehension skills. I am passionate about creating immersive learning experiences that empower individuals to reach their full potential.
