Summary

After 10 years of working in various hospitality roles, from server to assistant manager, I decided to use my outgoing and personable skills to challenge myself and apply for work in marine tourism. I have since completed seasonal work for two different companies. By demonstrating hard work and perseverance, I was able to obtain these positions in a competitive industry, with no previous experience.
