Summary

Conscientious and adaptable individual with a newly acquired High School Diploma (March 2025) achieved through dedicated adult education studies (since March 2022). My experience includes physically demanding work at UPS and customer-facing responsibilities at Benny & Co (since Summer 2023), demonstrating a strong work ethic and ability to interact with the public. Driven to transition into a desk-based role, such as Receptionist/Secretary (previous experience in 2019), I am also a proactive learner, having independently gained a basic understanding of Spanish and Russian. Possessing a full driver's license and personal vehicle, I am seeking a full-time opportunity.
