About me:

Over the last ten years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in different workplaces with positions that have taught me lasting communication, relational and leadership qualities and skills. I have seen the importance of working together as a team and how a company can benefit as a whole when that is done well. Staying organized and on task is something I value and consider to be of utmost importance. I am looking to join the team of a growing business where I can use my talents and skills for the benefit of the company and community. Working and interacting with customers is an asset I could also bring to the team. Having a positive attitude at the start of each day is something I take to heart and enjoy spreading to others around. My family and I are in the process of moving to the island and we are ready to give back to this awesome community! I am willing to work hard at a physical labor position or use my sales and customer service skills to help a business grow. Mahalo!
