COMMUNICATION

Communication skills are an especially important asset in a person’s life, especially in the workforce. I have played volleyball ever since I was little, which has allowed me to improve my communication skills. I am quick to respond to any emails that are sent from management, supervisor’s, therapists, and am always communicating with them. When it comes to my previous and current job(s), I always let my boss’s know days in advance if I was not available on the schedule.

LEADERSHIP

In high school, I was the captain of our volleyball team. This role was extremely rewarding, in which the team looked up to me and to hold other players accountable. I knew after receiving this role I needed to be a trustworthy leader that could take on responsibilities. I was a high school Class Treasurer for two years. In this role I oversaw our prom as well as organizing events for our school. When becoming a class officer, you are voted by the whole school in which they think you “stand out” to the students and are a leader to everyone.
