Tell us a bit about yourself. 

I have two children and one granddaughter. I have many years of experience in customer service, banquets, hospitality, and warehouses. I am multi-talented and love a challenge. I heard about Upshift through some people I was working with and I’ve been enjoying it so much that I even got my son to apply.

How has it been working on Upshift?

It’s been really great. I started picking up shifts in September and I have gotten the chance to work with over 10 different businesses so far. Through Upshift, I have mostly done banquet serving, along with warehouse picking and working as a binder. A few of my favorite shifts have been at Arandell, Ketmoy Printing, The Savannah Center, and Jack Casino. I’ve also done a few shifts at Kings Island as well for WinterFest. It’s also been really fun being able to meet new people through this. I love working with all the other Upshifters. We all look out for each other, and I’m always happy to help someone out and show them the ropes if they are completely new to something.

What do you like most about Upshift?

I love that Upshift allows you to grow at your own pace. It’s awesome that you can set your own schedule. As long as you are responsible and a hard worker, there are so many opportunities available for you. I especially like getting to experience new things while working at a variety of venues. I definitely wouldn’t have had the flexibility to work such versatile jobs if it wasn’t for Upshift, and I’m really grateful for that.
