I am a College student, who is always open to new opportunities to expand my knowledge/skills. I am always interested in listening and learning new things. I am very adaptive and I strive under pressure because of the sports I take part in. I was in retail cashiering/sales associate for a bit under three years and I had a great time interacting with customers even the tough ones! I enjoy helping customers with tough situations and assisting them in finding the solution, even if that means walking them through the whole process.
