OBJECTIVE

To branch out into an arena that utilizes my customer service and organizational skills in an environment that allows for new challenges and advancement.

SKILLS

Customer relations- In addition to working with actors and directors, my wealth of experience working with the public has afforded me an ability to understand client needs and address them in an efficient and friendly manner.

Organizational Skills- In my capacity as a restaurant and bar manager I have created ordering spreadsheets and managed inventory. During my brief time working at Loaves and Fishes I wrote a manual for the center's ordering procedures, as well as making inroads toward waste reduction and better management of resources.

Multi-tasking- In my work in restaurants, I have been constantly required to manage many tasks at once, including monetary transactions, organization of customer orders and work duties, and communicating with customers and co-workers. While working as a casting director I had to manage multiple phone calls, scheduling and client demands.

Working under pressure - As a Commercial Production Assistant and Casting Director I worked with strict deadlines in a highly dynamic atmosphere that demanded constant efficiency and adaptability. In addition, my experience in the food service industry has afforded me years of experience working in high stress situations where speed and affability are of great importance.

Adaptability- In any work situation I am always willing to accommodate the changing needs of my clients, co-workers and employers, including scheduling changes, additional duties and last minute requests.

Managing- In the restaurant industry, as well as during my time in commercial production, I have held positions that have required the ability to manage staff including the hiring, training, scheduling, and delegation of duties.
