About Me

Like jeans and dates, an employee has got to fit just right. For your company, that could be me!

I am currently a senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I am majoring in Anthropology. I am looking for a full-time job in a fast-paced and challenging environment where I can exercise creativity and enrich my life experience. While I am hoping to stay within the Triangle Area of North Carolina, I would be willing to relocate for the right job. I am a self-motivated worker with the ability to learn new skills quickly and work effectively both on team and individual projects. I have 7 years of experience in the hospitality industry, with strong interpersonal skills that I can apply both to customers and to colleagues. Expressive, well-traveled, and sharp, I am an individual with skills and experience that can be applied in any number of industries and professions. Please feel free to get in touch with me any time if you have any questions, comments, or think we may be a good match!
