Work History
Courier
Omnicare of CVS
Spokane, WA
08.2021 - 02.2025
- Responsibilities: I would assemble multiple pharmacy orders for cities all over Eastern Washington, then deliver them in a timely matter. I had strict rules and precautions to follow when dealing with medication, especially narcotics. This included acquiring multiple signatures and triple checking that all orders were in good condition and accounted for. I was also trusted with a work vehicle that I maintained and made sure was in good condition. I delivered directly to patient’s homes and well as to facilities like rehabs and retirement homes, so keeping a professional and understanding mindset was very important. This job also helped me hone my organizational skills as well as always keeping my mind sharp and alert.

- Despite really enjoying my job at My Fresh Basket, I had to step away due to my father's worsening condition. I remained a primary caregiver of his until his passing at the end of 2020.
Dishwasher, Prep Cook
My Fresh Basket
Spokane, WA
05.2018 - 09.2018
- Responsibilities: I worked in the deli at My Fresh Basket and would come in during the morning and make sure dishes remained clean while the kitchen remained organized and free of clutter. During downtime I would help with prep work for food and also worked up front on the line during our rush hours. I would also get pulled often to help organize and cover outdoor events we had (cookouts, burgers during Hoopfest) with our manager.
Prep Cook, Salad Bar Maintenance, Dishwasher
Whole Foods Market Westlake
Seattle, WA
02.2017 - 04.2018
- Responsibilities: I essentially had the same exact duties as I did in my previous Whole Foods Market job in Arizona. Although I was offered a role as a prep cook while being hired, I decided to start as a dishwasher again and work my way up from there. This would allow me time to become familiar and gain respect with my coworkers and managers, as well as learn the flow of business at that particular store.
- I should note that after Amazon bought out Whole Foods Market in 2017, my specific store located in downtown became a flagship store due to it being down the road from the Amazon HQ. This brought a lot of attention towards us from executive officers and we often had visits and walkthroughs from our CEO’s at both Amazon and Whole Foods. We were to lead an example for all other Whole Food Market stores and set the bar for quality and professionalism. The opportunity gave me much practice in working well under pressure and always performing my job at its highest standard.

Clarkston, WA
02.2016 - 02.2017
- Responsibilities: I normally wouldn't add this onto my resume for I do not get paid and some may not consider it a job. However, being a caregiver has greatly improved my patience with people, which comes into play a lot with many jobs. I can answer many questions(no matter how frequent or obvious) and assist people needing help without any frustration or angst. It has also helped me build a new sense of responsibility. My father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2010.
