Work History

Guest Service /Airport Operations Agent

Unifi Aviation – Contracted With Delta Air Lines & Spirit Airlines
01.2025 - Current

In my role with Unifi Aviation, I supported both Delta and Spirit Airlines by providing exceptional customer service and ensuring safe, efficient airport operations. I assisted passengers at check-in, boarding, and arrival, handled ticketing and baggage services, and navigated flight changes and delays with empathy and professionalism. As a certified Complaint Resolution Official (CRO), I resolved disability-related concerns in full compliance with DOT regulations. I also coordinated closely with flight crews, ramp agents, and dispatch, managing flight documentation, fuel slips, and weight and balance data while maintaining strict adherence to TSA, FAA, and airline procedures. This role required clear communication, quick problem-solving, and a strong commitment to safety, service, and teamwork—skills I look forward to bringing to a flight attendant position with Delta.

I led ramp teams in executing safe, on-time aircraft turnarounds, including baggage handling, aircraft loading/unloading, and equipment operation, while enforcing strict compliance with FAA, TSA, and airline safety protocols.
