Alexander French

As an associate at Walmart, I worked in the online grocery department. My responsibilities included making sure customers received their groceries in a timely manner as well as giving them an excellent customer experience. At Walmart, I was able to develop my customer service and quality control skills.

Starting as a cafe staff, I moved up to the position of kitchen trainer by showing proficiency with organization, training, and leadership skills. As the kitchen trainer, I was primarily in charge of making sure new hires learn the ropes of working in a kitchen. Along with training, it was my responsibility to make sure new hires were comfortable by creating a welcoming environment in the kitchen. During my four years at Colectivo, I developed skills in professional communication, time management, and stress management.

I work in Dr Harvey Bootsma’s Lab conducting research on ecosystem dynamics. In the lab, I demonstrate self motivation, project development skills, and a proactive work style. Work at the lab is independent, this means I have great self determination skills and I am able to stay on task unsupervised while meeting my deadlines.
