Professional Summary

I am now finished with my college degree and am anxious to start a new profession. My resume looks scarce and inundated with food server jobs because I was a working college student.

My family has been in the hotel/restaurant business my entire life. I grew up behind the front desk of a motel and learned various jobs as a result (i.e. hotel management, restaurant hostess, food server, bookkeeping and accounting.)

I am a fast learner and can adapt to many different environments as well as learn any task put in front of me. I'm also very personable and friendly.

I'm interested in securing a full time position with a growing company who would entertain the idea of giving me the opportunity.

My degree is in Philosophy with a concentration in Psychology and Art. My end goal is to become an Art Therapist working with children with learning disorders, focusing on autism and eventually own my own special needs day care facility. This goal could change with new experiences and opportunities given to me.
