Sales Associate

  • Communicated with customer support for clarity on questions that were not answered in the online FAQs
  • Established personal connections with customers, exceeding customer service expectations
  • Accurately tracked customer orders, identified, and resolved any issues during order fulfillment

Brand Associate

Gap Inc. Old Navy
06.2022 - 07.2023
  • I would take clothes out of a large bin in the fitting rooms, and I would either hang or fold them and then once the bin is empty, I ran/put the clothes back to where they go in the store
  • I made sure every area I stopped at to put the clothes back in was clean and organized because I didn't want customers to trip, fall, and hurt themselves
  • I was also head cashier for some of my shifts where I would give excellent customer service to every customer I had to help telling every last one of them about our loyalty program and how they would get 30% off of their purchase if they applied and got approved for the Old Navy credit cards
  • I also worked on the sales floor, where I would do recovery in whatever department the manager would tell me to recover in such as fixing the clothes folded down on the tables, fixing and putting the hung clothes in order by color and size, and organizing to make the area look nice
  • In January 2023, I was awarded for most improved performance, managers always noticed how well of a job I did with go backs, or the amount of credit cards I've opened up
  • During some night shifts, managers would tell me that I've "saved the store for the day" because when other employees were at the register, they would have 0 cards opened but when I got put at the register I had at least 2 opened every time.

Acting and Poetry

I am an 18-year-old spoken word artist and aspiring actress, channels I experiences and emotions into powerful poetry that delves into themes of self-worth, healing from trauma, and personal growth. I draw profound inspiration not just from the music of artists like Kehlani, Layton Greene, and Alicia Keys, but also from watching their interviews and learning about their journeys of overcoming adversity. Originally from Sacramento, CA, I faced limited opportunities in my hometown but recently moved to Oakland, CA in 2023, where I have been cast in my first film. My  journey is a testament to my resilience and dedication to my art, and I continue to inspire others with my heartfelt words and blossoming acting career.
