Summary
I have done many jobs in my lifetime and they all are connected by my experience of taking care of people and creating a nice environment. I worked as a wait staff and bartender in fine dining and casual restaurants in my 20’s to early 30’s. I always missed that atmosphere so here I am semi-retired and looking for part time work.
I spent almost 30 years working for myself as a freelance makeup and hair artist working with both commercial and editorial clients. I am detail oriented and organized.
