Summary
Proficient at fostering positive relationships and excelling in high-pressure environments. Always quick to learn, and very eager to learn new skills and abilities! I used my customer service skills and detail-oriented mindset at PF Chang's Restaurant as well as O'donnell Family Dentistry. My proactive approach resulted in enhanced customer satisfaction and efficient operational workflows, showcasing my ability to multitask and prioritize service excellence. I am a team player, and a great communicator. I promote emotional intelligence in my positions and am good with conflict management as well as putting my guests/patients first in order to provide them with the upmost care and service. I continue my waitress job while in school in order to pay my bills, but I am currently looking for a job to enhance my patient care experience and hours with goals of attending Physicians Assistant School.
