About
Dependable, hard-working professional with a background spanning customer service, warehouse logistics, and self-employment. I open a busy Penn Station coffee shop at 4:30 every morning, running the register and espresso bar while keeping the line moving. Before that, I spent two years on an overnight freight team checking shipments against orders.
I'm comfortable with repetitive, exacting work, quick to learn new systems and software, and used to being the only person responsible for getting things right. Reliable transportation, own laptop, and can start right away.
