      As the Visitor Information Specialist, I greet visitors and locals with a warm smile, advise them on the unique activities and places to see in Gainesville and provide necessary materials and resources as per visitors’ requests. I assist with keeping the lobby stocked and organized with information on local activities and adventures, parks, hotels and lodgings, attractions, and more. I gather visitor information about the length of their stay, where they are visiting from, and why they decided to visit Gainesville. Additionally, I take part in outreach with our community, covering local events, festivals, attractions and more while also taking photos and videos for our various social media pages as well as for our award-winning What’s Good guide.

I developed critical leadership skills, ensuring that the working environment was efficient yet enjoyable for all employees. It taught me to be tenacious and positive during long and challenging days.
