Summary
I’m a national level swimmer with a lot of discipline and endurance from competing at a high level. I’ve worked in busy kitchen environments where I learned to stay organized and work well with others. As a junior lifeguard, I developed strong safety skills and the ability to stay calm and make quick decisions when needed. I’m reliable, hardworking, and always focused on doing my best whether it’s in the pool, at work, or on the job.
