Summary
I’m a storyteller at heart with a journalism degree and hands-on experience creating written and video content. Complementing my creative skills, I bring 7+ years of frontline customer service through bartending and cashier work, where I learned how to connect with people, stay adaptable, and keep calm under pressure. I bring a strong communication, creativity, and a customer-first mindset to every team I join.
