What I'm looking for

I seek customer-facing roles where I can deliver excellent service, train and lead teams, grow in hospitality or administrative responsibilities, and contribute in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

I am a customer-focused professional with nearly a decade of people-facing experience across coffee service, hospitality, and administrative roles. I deliver consistent, high-quality service, train staff, manage inventory and cash handling, and have taken on supervisory responsibilities such as scheduling and leading teams.

My background includes barista work, location management, bookkeeping support, reception, tutoring, and freelance voice-over and songwriting. I bring strong communication, attention to detail, technical proficiency (QuickBooks, Microsoft Office, Google Suite, Adobe Photoshop), and a friendly, adaptable approach that improves customer experience and team performance.
