Summary
Although I am still attending school and have a side hustle, extra-curricular work is something will always be a major part of my life, no matter what my socio-economic, academic, or familial status may be. From the time I met the age requirement to work in California a few years ago, I have been both formally and informally, working, volunteering, and assisting wherever I felt compelled to do so.
Throughout my various positions, I have grasped many skills and core values that I integrate into my overall mindset today. Whether it be the leadership and problem solving skills that I exhibit in my role as founder of the Los Angeles Youth Alliance, or my customer and client relationship management which I practiced daily at Allied Collection Services of California LLC, I feel that my abilities are truly versatile.
Most importantly, I have always been a capable and charismatic person which I think boasts extremely well in any work environment.
