Summary

I am a college student currently pursuing my undergrad in education at Texas Southern University. I am a classified sophomore right now. I obtained excellent customer service and critical thinking skills while working and going to school. I have won the non-teacher staff member of the year award at my job for the 2022-2023 school year, and I won staff member of the month for April 2023. I love to be a problem solver and come up with realistic logical solutions. I have taken many training courses in customer service, student success, and professional development.
