***********@*****.***
I started working at the age of 16 and most of my working career has been focused in retail and services. In that time I gained experience in some administrative/clerical work and basic food service. I spent about 2 years in a management title with as many as 7 employees under me but also took on management responsibilities and training employees with some of my non-management titles. Since entering back into the work force I have been working more with administrative and educational work which has helped me become more versatile. I am a team player and able to adapt as needed, working well with co-workers as well as customers, but I also am able to work well on my own, meeting deadlines and expectations no matter how I need to work. Authorized to work in the US for any employer
