Summary

Thank you for taking the time to read my resume. I am excited to offer a versatile blend of skills, experience, and dedication to your business. My professional journey has taken me through diverse fields from challenging construction sites to high-pressure emergency response centers all of which have sharpened my ability to adapt, lead, and thrive under demanding circumstances.


During my year in construction, I specialized in building strong foundations both literally and within my team embracing the disciplined, hands on work that came with physically rigorous environments. This experience taught me resilience, attention to detail, and a no quit attitude when facing tough deadlines and complex problem solving.


As a 911 operator, I mastered quick decision making, staying composed to manage emergencies while balancing the urgency of critical tasks with clear communication and focus.


Additionally, my eight years as a gymnastics coach provided hands on leadership experience where i worked closely with children, managed program operations, and fostered both individual and team growth.


These roles, complemented by earlier customer service positions in retail and food service, have equipped me with a unique mix of problem solving skills, resilience, and the ability to connect with individuals from all walks of life. I am eager to bring this diverse skill set to your business and contribute to the success of your team.

Thank you for considering my application; I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can support your goals
