While working currently for transport, I do tasks such as bringing patients to exams like X Rays, MRI's and more. If a patient has trouble walking, I would do whatever I can do to help get the patient onto the stretcher or wheelchair with the nurses assistance if needed. Sometimes if the patient can not get up at all, we would need to slide the patient across to the stretcher using a slide board.

While working as a service desk associate, I completed various tasks such as helping customers return items from the store they no longer wanted and helped them with any financial problems they had such as paying bills, cashing checks, etc.

I volunteered to help out the Lawrence High track team coaches during this year for an event called Special Olympics. During this event, I helped organize and helped the young kids get through every event and made sure they were safe and having fun. I developed many leadership skills during my team assisting the coaches.
