Affiliations

I enjoy working with people and children of all races and disabilities. I am a very well rounded employee who has the ability to adapt to change quickly in the work environment. I enjoy learning from others and working with a team.

Accomplishments

I have learned that my work ethics has placed me in positions that I never though I could qualify for. In 2020 I went from a cashier to an Assistant Store Manager in four month's due to my hard work and work ethics. I soon was tested by being placed in my own store and maintained the store with the help of my staff. My ability to adapt under pressure is my best quality. I really enjoyed the leadership and the opportunity that was given to me, and learned a lot of my capabilities in that short period of time. It was overall a great asset for me in my growth of becoming a bushiness owner some day.
