Summary

I am an upcoming senior at Simpson College studying vocal performance. I am a detail-oriented individual with strong organizational skills and problem-solving skills. I am a hard worker, and my background—having been in 4-H while growing up and working with animals and potential adopters—has led me to develop strong communication skills and patience, qualities that transfer well into customer service.
