Available to hire
Hi, I’m Valerie Schmidt. With years of experience in various roles ranging from expediting rock samples to managing front of house operations at a photographic studio, I bring a versatile skill set and a passion for organization and creativity. I’ve had the opportunity to blend my leadership skills with hands-on work like photography, costume design, and catering event management.
I enjoy coordinating events, running POS systems, and even sewing costumes, all while maintaining a friendly and knowledgeable approach with customers and colleagues. I’m always eager to take on challenges that help me grow both professionally and personally.
