PROFILE
CONTACT
I bring fluency in multiple software platforms including Excel, the Adobe Creative Suite, and CRMs including SAP and Salesforce. Serving customers in hospitality settings for over 10 years made me highly aware of the importance of the customer experience. My professional roles have given me additional perspective on how to effectively balance exceptional service with the cost of providing it.
Process improvement, professional writing, multitasking, and creativity are my key strengths. Six Sigma green belt certified.
