Summary

I have developed strong customer service and multitasking skills in high-paced environments. I am able to maintain a positive and professional attitude. While in a sorority, I held two positions, one being apparel where I had to organize hundreds of orders, separating sizes and keeping the money together. This was a very huge learning experience for me and taught me how to handle difficult situations and efficiently fix mistakes. I am currently seeking to transition into new field, leveraging skills in effective communication and team collaboration.
