Summary
I have an excellent GPA, with a record of academic excellence looking for part time work. I am a student at Chico State University, working towards receiving my BA in Biology for prerequisites to apply to Optometry school. Having over three years of experience as a clinical optician, grasping vocabulary and understanding that vision is an integral part of life has been my passion. Connecting with patients and building life long skills through my journey has helped me flourish in many ways. These skills include multitasking abilities, communication skills, equipment handling, and customer service.
