I'm currently employed at YOLO parasail and have been for a little over a year and half. This was my first full time job where I experienced my first 60 plus hour weeks during both the 2023 and 2024 summers. After leaving my first job at AMI Creamery and Bakery with the social skills I had learned, made me a perfect fit at YOLO Parasail where I got to continue exercising my social skills at a more mentally and physically demanding job.

This was my first ever job that taught me many of the skills that I have incorporated into my daily life including both school and my current job. I originally got in contact with the manager and employer and very shortly after began serving ice cream. During this period I had saved my money for a little over two months until I could afford my own electrical bike. This investment allowed me to work more and ultimately make more money, eventually leading to my promotion where I began making the gelato/sorbet for the the creamery. For the remainder of my employment at AMI Creamery and Bakery I both served and made the product, along the way practicing my customer service skills, money management, and the benefits of working well and maintaining a strong and united team.
