At Window Wizard I worked as a service technician. My main task was to drive to customers houses throughout the whole Treasure Valley cleaning windows and gutters. I mainly worked alone on residential houses, and occasionally commercial buildings with other employees. Working at Window Wizard taught me a lot about time management, carefully following safety regulations, and taking good care of customers.

At Corwin Ford I completed on-time car part deliveries by choosing best and most efficient routes. Everyday I pulled parts off warehouse shelves to fill customer orders then delivered the parts to multiple locations from Caldwell to Boise. Working here taught me to keep detailed records of deliveries and money received from customers, and learn the parts warehouse system by reading off the part numbers and understanding organization of all the car parts.

I first started at Corwin at the Public Wholesale lot in downtown Nampa. I Cleaned upholstery, rugs and other surfaces by using cleaning agents, applicators and cleaning devices. Vacuumed interiors of vehicles to remove dirt and debris. Used cleaning, protective, and restorative agents to maintain and enhance appearance of vehicles. Operated buffers, steamers, hoses, vacuums and other equipment to meet service expectations. I also would drop cars off daily to other dealerships and mechanic shops to be serviced.

At Warm Springs I did various tasks throughout the day to meet the course needs. My main job was to mow rough which is all the grass outside the fairway and green, and it took all day. Other things I would do include raking sand bunkers, using trimmers for small detail, mowing greens, filling potholes, and fertilizing. Anything that needed to be done to meet the course needs and have it looking the best it possibly can.

At the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Nampa I started on the pick team. I Worked fast to meet assigned daily picking quotas by pulling orders quickly to maintain demanding productivity goals. I then was promoted to a very important role of AFM where I would monitor a whole floor helping other employees with mechanical issues they might run into, and traveling into the pod farm to fix and move the robots that would run into each other. Overall, it was a very memorable work experience, but I unfortunately couldn't keep up with the graveyard shift schedule.

I worked at Albertson's Market Street in the back kitchen mainly doing food prep. I Restocked supplies and prepared additional ingredients during downtime for expected busy periods. I also would help cook various items and package the shelve products daily. I gained a lot of customer service and kitchen team work experience doing this job

At Chipotle I worked on the front line making food for customers. I also did a lot of prep work in the back making sure all the food was ready for the next shift. And lastly, I worked the grill making sure all meats and veggies were cooked, and the line was kept stocked. Working at Chipotle even furthered my customer service experience, and taught me a lot about working as a team.

At this summer job I tended to the course making sure it was in pristine condition for all the players, especially during the large tournaments over the weekend. I did tasks such as sand pro the sand bunkers, fixing and adjusting sprinklers, fertilizing/sanding the greens, watering grass, replacing pipes, spraying weeds, etc. This job taught me a lot about working in manual labor and sticking to a good schedule for a full-time job.

At Idaho Pizza I worked mainly in the kitchen. I worked the oven making sure all pizzas were cut and sent out whether it was dine-in, delivery, or pick-up. I also worked on the line making the pizzas, and making sure they all went in the oven at the right time. I answered phone calls, and was on the till occasionally which gave me a lot of customer service experience. Other tasks I did include washing dishes, and prepping for the next day. Overall, I learned a lot from this job and gained a lot of experience in several fields.
