Summary

Customer-oriented worker with 7 years of experience working hands on with prepping food, taking orders, working load, operating slicers and pallet jacks, and working the floor for two different departments as a Deli and Meat Clerk. While also having experience with writing up contracts, negotiating prices, advertising and promoting new deals, deep cleaning vehicles, getting repairs done on them, interacting with other locations for availability, inventory of the lot, and checking people in and out in a timely manner as a Car Rental Agent. I am also a keen student who has a set path for my future and am working harder every semester for it. When the Pandemic first began, I decided to take a break from school to figure myself out. That is why in June of 2017 I decided to leave my first job at Pavilions and pursue something different. I took a few months to myself and decided around December to get back into the workforce, which is when I landed a job at Avis Budget. After working for another year I gained the right mind and motivation to go back to school and become a proper Historian. However, full-time at Avis Budget did not work for obvious reasons and so I returned part time to Pavilions. As someone who aspires to become a Historian and Professor, I am well versed in various eras and periods across the globe. I may read more historical pieces, yet I still enjoy fiction and within the past year have opened myself up to reading more and more in my spare time.
