Summary

Hi there, Terp!


My name is Liz, and I am a customer-focused professional with a versatile background in surveying, project management, and hospitality. As a Sidewalk Surveyor at SafeSidewalks Canada, I excelled in enhancing project accuracy and efficiency, ensuring client satisfaction through precise measurements and streamlined workflows. My role as a Hostess & Server Assistant at The Toronto Hunt Club further honed my customer service skills, where I adeptly managed reservations, implemented effective table rotations, and collaborated with the kitchen staff to optimize the dining experience. Volunteering as a Veterinary Assistant in Costa Rica and at The Potcake Place in Turks And Caicos, I consistently provided compassionate care, improved client relations through clear communication, and maintained a positive atmosphere. Known for my ability to handle challenging situations with calm professionalism and contribute to a welcoming environment.
