Summary

I started working at Images Beauty Salon right after I graduated from high school and worked there at the same time as pursuing a certificate in Cosmetology. Working at Images Beauty Salon gave me the opportunity to work at the front desk while also supporting the hair stylists and gaining practical experience.


Images Beauty Salon closed in 2010 and I started working initially as a temporary Associate at Party City for their Halloween events. They liked my work and offered me a full time position as an Associate with increased capabilities such as training new Associates.


I worked at Party City until the month in which my first child was born and since then, I have focused my work on remaining home to raise my children.


I am very reliable, responsible, conscientious and would like to re-enter the formal workforce.
