Experience

  The University of Alabama

  Jan 2017 - Nov 2018

  Front Desk Assistant for Housing and Residential Communities

  Though many may assume a position as a desk assistant only entails answering phones, a desk assistant at The University of Alabama is held to much more responsibility. During each shift, I was expected to display crisis management skills and effectively communicate with upper division housing directors if needed. The main focus of this position was the charge to ensure the safety of residents in buildings.

  Southern Ale House

  Mar 2018 - Sept 2019

  Hostess

  Working as a hostess at a well-known restaurant came with great responsibility. In this position, I was the first impression of the restaurant as a whole. Welcoming customers with a warm smile and giving immediate attention to each new guest was not an option, it was necessary. Continuing to check on guests during and lending a warm "thank you" at the end of each guest's visit allowed customers to know they were appreciated and welcomed back.
