Several years of experience working in retail and practicing customer service. Five years of working as a receptionist, weight loss counselor, and intake specialist. During that time I gained experience in packing and shipping but primarily as a counselor, all while using my customer service skills. Six and a half years as a paraprofessional working with children with special needs. Friendliness, thoughtfulness, and patience grew from all of these experiences. I also have experience working with money and staying calm in stressful situations.
