My Skills & Attributes
Life is about honoring the opportunities that come our way. Below are some of the aptitudes and traits I've acquired while Carpe'ing the Diem.
Interaction & Communication
Above and Beyond
Attention to detail, striving for excellence and seeking to exceed client expectation are some of the fundamentals I believe I gained during my years in Hospitality. You are a direct ambassador for any organization you are a part of. Your role will always be an important one.
Teaching & Training
Raising the Bar
Now more than ever I realize the powerful impact educators can have on others. Harnessing the resources we have access to today, coupled with kindness and responsibility, we can guide and mentor others to think for and believe in themselves.
Writing & Photography
Sharing a Vision
Documenting the experiences I've gained in various sectors and honing my skills as a writer under my own personal brand has pushed me to consider what I envision for my future. Today, we are able to create our own brand identities successfully without receiving any formal training. Any sincere vision or voice can have an audience. Who will accept the challenge?
