What I'm looking for
I am a customer-focused hospitality and service professional with experience across hotel front-desk operations, health insurance customer support, delivery logistics, and laboratory support roles.
At Hyatt Place I manage guest reception, check-in/check-out, reservations, and coordination with housekeeping and maintenance to ensure a smooth guest experience. Previously, I provided high-quality member support at Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, handled timely deliveries for Amazon, and maintained animal care and records at Roswell Park.
I bring strong time management, organizational skills, adaptability, and a positive attitude. I work well unsupervised, learn quickly, and remain calm under pressure to resolve issues and support teams effectively.
