Summary
With a diverse background in a multi-faceted company, I have gained valuable experiences that broadened my skill set. As the company transitions into retirement, I am excited for new opportunities. Possessing a can-do attitude, I am always ready to help and eager to learn in any capacity where additional support is needed. My second casual position in the past four years, allowed me to adapt quickly and acquire new skills during busy weekends and various functions. Resolving conflicts and addressing issues has been a key aspect of my role, always prioritizing the business's best interests.
