Summary
From working as an ice rink attendant, youth flag football referee, small-engine mechanic, and landscaper, I’ve developed a strong mix of customer service, leadership, and hands-on technical skills. I’m dependable in fast-paced environments, able to communicate clearly with customers, parents, and youth athletes, and confident in handling conflict calmly and professionally. I bring mechanical problem-solving experience through diagnosing, maintaining, and repairing small engines, along with strong attention to detail and safety. I’m also physically hardworking and efficient, with experience completing outdoor projects, managing time well, and staying organized while working independently or as part of a team.
