"In my group-based projects in university, I show my teammates the importance of communication by leading by example. I set the tone and expectations for how we should communicate by utilizing all forms of written, verbal, and interpersonal communications to a tee. I will bring the same positive attitude and strong organization to work as a Food Service Manager, as well."

"As an experienced manager, I know that many customer service issues stem from poor communication. In my current role, when we have a customer dispute, I work with my team to explore alternative solutions that would have given us a better outcome. We often role play and discuss ways that we could have reacted better. This practice has greatly improved customer reviews."
