Summary
Hello, my name is John-Wesley Sloan, I am a graduating masters student at Liberty University. I have worked in retail, food service, and security work. At each job I have found a skill that was vital. Working for Staples I learned about being punctual, attention to detail, and following the rules. At Chick-Fil-A I learned professionalism in the face of anyone. Finally, at LUPD Security, I have leaned about responsibility. Each of these has positioned me to take the next step in my career.

Travel
I have had the opportunity to go abroad several times. I have been to guatemala to serve twice and that was a great culture shock to the world around. I had the opprtunity for my senior class to go to Rome, Athens, and on trips around the Mediterranean.
The last time I had the opportunity to go out of the country was 2016 to teach english in China.
I had hoped to go to both Spain and Bosnia, but those trips were canceled due to Covid-19.
