• I have been working at the bluffs since I was 15 as a dining assistant. I have gained a lot of experience being social with people I am familiar with and people I haven't met before. It has helped use and test my memory skills working in this position and helped me get used to working in stressful and busy situations. I have become very familiar with the residents and I love getting to socialize with them. It has been a great first job and an amazing working environment and I hope to be able to continue it a couple days a week on the side of hopefully starting a new job. some of the skills I have done are
