Tara's Chance is a program working with kid's with disabilities and special needs through therapeutic riding. I volunteer my time in the morning to clean up the facility, filling water buckets, feeding, and mucking out therapy horse stalls for the program. I ensure that all walkways, paths, and aisles are clear of any objects or cleaning materials that may present a problem for the program students or staff. I have also assisted in replacing stall panels and filling in ruts after the rain.

• Used strong interpersonal communication skills to convey information to others.
• Maintained clean, neat, and operational facilities to serve program needs.

I started at Target as a fulfillment expert in September and learned the job quickly withing 4 days of on floor training in 4 hour shifts. After my training period was completed I began to pick up all available shifts on the app, come in when called about an open shift, extended shifts whenever their was an opportunity, and helped other new team members while they were being trained. I strive to keep the fulfillment team on pace and make sure everyone is hitting their goals. I work with efficiency and strategy to ensure all products are handled with care and placed in the appropriate drive-up-pick-up locations or packaged properly to be received by the correct guest. I have been trained in general merchandise as well as display set up for the target store as I requested when my department was not busy. Through the holidays I was able to assist and direct other team members in order to keep up with increased online orders. Stayed updated on inbound trucks arrival times and container details to be as accurate as possible with guest needs. On the floor I pull online orders on a time limit while also assisting the general public with any questions or concerns they may have.

• Took on extra hours and shifts during busy periods to meet tight shipping deadlines.
• Printed labels, packaged boxes, and loaded into outbound containers.
• Pulled orders quickly to maintain demanding productivity goals.
• Safely and securely loaded items to prevent damage during transport.

I dedicate a lot of my time to managing and maintaining happy and healthy conditions on the ranch at all times for visitors, other volunteers, riders, veterinarians, and a variety of animals on the ranch, most importantly the horses. My responsibilities include making sure all water buckets are filled, stalls are clean, horses have access to hay and feed, gates are closed and locked, tack and saddles are organized and accessible, as well as paying close attention to horses that are in need of timely medication or are being rehabilitated for a second chance. I follow the feeding schedules of horses with specific needs or special diets and help the ranch owner by assisting and instructing riding lessons to the general public who would like to get more involved.

• Exhibited excellent communications and customer service relations skills.
• Maintained clean facilities to better serve program needs.

During my time here I was responsible for a multitude of tasks and helped set up for many different events. I was responsible for helping clean out stalls, fill water buckets, and feed horses as well as exercise them three to four times a week. I dedicated hours of my time to brushing off, washing, and saddling up horses for myself as well as others. When I was not directly helping with the horses the owners of Rising Ash Ranch would hold horse camps for kids to come and learn the responsibilities of taking care of different animals. Teaching kids about how to make and meet specific needs of a horse through their food was one of many ways I assisted other people in the work space. I always volunteered to take any extra tasks I could find to allow the day to move smoothly.

• Developed communication strategies to promote charity events.
• Maintained clean facilities to better serve program needs.
