I am an ambitious outgoing individual, always aiming to streamline my methods and to think outside the box to attract customers or improve products and services. I credit my ambition to my accumulated time in several different industries namely, retail, sales, hospitality/culinary, management and finance. The knowledge I have gained through these sectors have provided me with a valuable skill variety that has been proven very useful in my career to date. As of the past 2.5 years I have become accustomed to working under high pressure within the hospitality industry and have adapted a mentality of being well prepared in advance, reading customer scenarios, and going above regular service requirements. I thrive in a team-like environment and feel that this helps me stay positive, competitive and productive. I like to refer to myself as a jack of all trades as I have worked and been put in situations that have required me to adapt to the situation in short space of time. I am familiar with all the departments in the hospitality industry and have worked in each one with highly experienced individuals and mentors.
