Summary

I am a hard and dedicated worker with a proven track record at multiple restaurants, including Portofino's Italian Restaurant. I strove to enhance guest satisfaction through effective teamwork and timely service. I am currently a full-time student at the College of Charleston, expected to graduate with a bachelor's degree of science, majoring in exercise science and a minoring in psychology. I am working towards applying to graduate school to become a physical therapist, and have interned at a PT clinic and became CPR certified to bolster my application status.
