WORK EXPERIENCE

4-2008/present Alternative Directions Grand Rapids, MI

 Alternative Directions is a probation residential service. We offer an alternative direction to non-violent felony offenders who are willing to make changes in their lives. We provide a productive 24 hour community based sanction that promotes restorative justice and public safety. We serve the criminal justice system by providing a productive punishment for those who are not a threat to the community. We restore the community by requiring offenders to make restitution for their crimes, fulfill the court requirements, and to become productive members of society.

3-2003/present HMS Host International Kentwood, MI

Bartender/server

 Serving the guests in a quick and efficient manner with a smile. The bar is in the airport, therefore the managers have other locations that they need to tend to, so most of the time that I am there I am unsupervised and an independent worker. Being unsupervised does not interfere with me doing an exceptional job. It is an extremely fast paced environment so there is no room for error.
