Summary

I am a dedicated, energetic, and hardworking employee who loves to socialize but still maintains focus at the same time. I enjoy working with others and am open to multiple different job experiences, as well as volunteering. I am a quality-oriented second year college student who has consistently been praised by teachers and managers. During my academic career, I worked for a year and a half at my previous job. I had the privilege of working at Feast Neighbourhood Table as a dishwasher, where I learned valuable professional skills such as teamwork, food preparation, food sanitation, and safety. I also work at Purdys Chocolates currently, as a chocolate connoisseur. Purdys Chocolates has taught me valuable life skills such as effective communication, customer service, and selling skills. I am a good problem solver and have strong teamwork skills, which I hope to leverage in the company. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.
