Skills
I am a hard worker and show dedication. My communication skills are advanced and I have
developed them throughout volunteering, volleyball, and work. I am outgoing and very open to
talking to new people. As the captain of my volleyball team, I have learned how to assert myself
in high-stress situations. Lake House is seen as one of the busiest restaurants in Niagara and I
was often put in high pressure situations and found that I was able to work through it efficiently
and calmly.
