Summary
Hello! I am a 36yr old mother of three, who is looking to return to the workforce. After 20+ yrs in the hospitality industry, I am ready to pursue new career opportunities. I am motivated, and eager to learn new skills, in a new work environment. With my youngest child beginning school, I am available for more full-time opportunities. I am open to (and intending on) furthering my education to increase my potential. I am a bright and bubbly person, who thrives in customer facing roles. I am effective in communication, both verbal & written, with superb English skills. I am capable with Microsoft Office applications and intend to brush up on skills with a few relevant courses at present. I am looking for a chance to learn and flourish in an administrative type of position, with goals of career advancement.
