What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to explore new opportunities and utilize my diverse skill set in a supportive environment.

With a diverse background in hospitality, healthcare, and transportation, I bring a wealth of experience and a strong work ethic to any role. My journey began as a Certified Nursing Assistant, where I provided compassionate care to over 100 patients, ensuring their comfort and well-being during long shifts. This role honed my communication skills and taught me the importance of patience in challenging situations.

Transitioning into management, I served as the General Manager at Best Western Plus Inn & Suites, where I oversaw hotel operations, handled customer complaints, and managed staff schedules. My ability to maintain a steady revenue stream and implement effective strategies for improvement was key to our success. Most recently, I worked as a Truck Driving Instructor, where I taught students the safe operation of commercial vehicles, further expanding my skill set in the transportation industry.
