Objective
To obtain a secure position in a progressive company where I have room to grow as a person and advance my career. Two words to describe what I want out of life is success and service. Wherever I go, I strive to be helpful and useful to others (service); as well as work hard, be efficient, remain grateful, and find fulfillment in everything I do (success).
My Degree is directed towards a Master’s in Social Work and Counseling. I am hoping within a year I will be able to start the Master’s Program in Social Work at the University of Arkansas (online – not interfering with job). I am a mother of two, ages three and four, and am looking for a job opportunity that will help my family flourish and gain the security and benefits we need. I am a fast learner, great multi-tasker, hard worker, and very dedicated.

Skills
Both industries I have worked for require me to have an understanding of what it means to provide excellent customer service. I have worked in the service industry for 14 years which requires a great deal of patience and high expectation. I understand the importance of inventory and revenue while finding the balance to ensure the customer leaves happy. I have been a manager, run front of house, and have worked as waitstaff. I am excellent at multi-tasking and working in fast paced environments. I am quick to learn, clean, and efficient.
