About Me

As a recent graduate of St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas, I have learned the importance of impacting lives. Whether through my service, my smile, or career I challenge myself to make a difference and do my best! You will also find that my personality is full of enthusiasm and I always go above and beyond what is asked of me. Customer service,marketing, promotions, recruiting and the tourism industry are my strengths. A positive and individualistic- team atmosphere is my best work environment.

Number One Belief: I am a reflection of what I do. And what I do never goes below expectations, but always above.
