Summary

I am dedicated towards upward mobility, improving my skills and self development with education. I would be commitment and dedicated towards the success of your company. In addition my career has included: Administrative Receptionist, and Customer Service Representative. In addition to my recent position, I have spent many years in the hospitality industry. I have included my ability to perform as an ambassador for the island in the category of taxi operator/public transportation operator and an independent sightseeing tour guide ambassador. (Transportation). In addition, I am experience in supervising staff and working with high net worth clients, both of which require extra attention to the "people management" side of business. I have accelerated the achievement of goals and positioned myself as a valuable resource in a variety of situations. If given the opportunity, I would bring to your company not only these administrative / public relations skills, but also a positive, cooperative attitude that I have displayed throughout my career. I maintain calm under pressure and adapt to meet the unique needs of each organization.
