Kirsten Murphy

Canton, NY C: 315-***-**** acyeh5@r.postjobfree.com

Good morning! My name is Kirsten, legally, or Kirsty to friends. Please indulge my brief introduction of myself before I list details of my professional history.

As you will see below, my background is a variety of service and creative positions. I've worked with the elderly and disabled in direct care, made beds at a four star hotel, answered phones for an entertainment company, and created custom graphics for clients of all sorts, to name a few of my experiences.

What you won't see below is my friendly, laid back personality. Any situation can be dealt with, in my opinion, without petty chaos or stress. One of my strengths is to see the world in a wider perspective and I insist on treating everybody as I would expect to be treated in return, regardless of who they are. I've been called a hippy, and I'm okay with that.
