Summary
Energetically driven student at Peru State College, studying Criminal Justice-Counseling with a minor in Drug and Alcohol Counseling. My expertise in customer service and teamwork, coupled with a proven ability to manage time efficiently, positions me as a valuable asset to any team seeking to improve customer outcomes. I am motivated as an individual to excel both independently and with my team. I am a skilled multi-tasker with problem-solving and organizational skills, and I am proven reliable no matter what. I have a very open schedule for when I can work, such as mornings or late nights. I have many years in experience as a State-Certified CNA at both Mosaic and Helping Hands, where I have developed great patience, leadership, care-giving, individualized care, people skills, and educational skills with those with both disabilities and those who need more care or support. I have multiple certifications in First-Aid, CPR, and MANDT as well, that have advanced my skills as both a human as well as an employee anywhere I work. I strive to be kind, and help those around me no matter what, trying to apply a smile to those I see, as you never know what someone is going through.
