About Thomas Bates:

I am a 7-year Chicago resident and graduate of Columbia College Chicago. I have 6 years of experience in retail and 4 years in food service, which bestowed upon me strong competence in communication, teamwork, scheduling, punctuality, and organization. It also empowered me to become adept at customer service skills. I have been grateful for the ability to hone in this expertise and apply it in every facet of my life, especially professional.
