Piscataway,NJ
Summary
I started working when I was about sixteen years old, at a Burger King fast food restaurant, in Hopelawn N.J. (2014) I was also completing my college degree at the same time. As time passed managing time was difficult, because I was taking full-time courses in school. For this reason, I applied to a different job, at a school bus company , as a bus aide. This job allowed me to complete my studies in my Liberal Arts field, because it gave me the flexibility to work and complete my student and employee duties. In 2017, I was able to finish my degree, in Liberal Arts. In June 2018, researched different universities to complete my education and decided to get a Bachelors of Science degree in Psychology. Took me some time, but due to my effort and persistence I was able to finish my career. in November 2020 I completed my Bachelor's degree and was able to graduate with honors.
