What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level remote position where I can apply my organization, communication, and analytical skills, contribute to a positive team, and continue to grow my career.

At The Play Place, I was promoted from Tennis Coach to General Manager of a children’s sports facility with an afterschool program, sports programs, open play, and parties.

I managed daily operations, staff scheduling, facility maintenance, and program coordination. I also oversaw budgets, registrations, and customer relations.

At Bridgeview Tavern, I provided service in a high-volume restaurant and tip pool environment, prepared and served beverages, and handled cash transactions.

My experience also includes bartending and serving in restaurants, a sports grill, and a country club. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Florida Atlantic University (FAU).
