PROFILE
I am a former Sales & Marketing Executive who has strong ambition. Although I have over fifteen years of experience in the Hospitality industry, I am always willing to learn different facets of businesses. I was a vital part of the #1 rated Casino Resort in California. I enjoy working with others, while working efficiently on my own. I am searching for a position where I can utilize my skills learned throughout my professional career.
