Tell us a bit about yourself. 

I have been working in customer service and hospitality for over 17 years. A lot of my experience has been in banquets either in a captain or supervisor role. I have worked in several hotels for a number of years, but just within the past few years, I was working as a manager for Bob Evans. I have since moved away from that and have now opened up my own sports shop. I was looking for something to supplement my income when someone recommended that I try Upshift.

How has it been working on Upshift?

I started in July and I’ve been loving it so far. I have done a variety of shifts ranging from factory work to banquet serving, and even working as a prep cook a few times as well. I have especially liked working with Aero Fulfillment and The Savannah Center. They’re both very organized and the staff is great to work with. Overall, Upshift has been very helpful for finding something to fit my schedule when things aren’t as busy at my shop. However, I may actually slow down a bit for now so that I can focus on my own businesses, but I’m definitely looking forward to picking up some more shifts in the coming months.

What do you like most about Upshift?

One of my favorite things about Upshift has been meeting new people. It’s been fun getting to know everyone I work with, and I’ve actually become close friends with a few of the other Upshifters. It’s also really interesting getting to work with such a wide variety of people because each person’s story and their reasons for using Upshift are so uniquely different.
