Summary

Upon graduating from White Hall High School in 2020, I gained valuable experience through a series of diverse roles. During high school, I was actively involved in sports, which limited my availability for year-round employment. However, during the summer following my graduation, I took on a position as a waitress, where I honed my communication and customer service skills, as well as developed proficiency in cash register management.

In addition to my summer job, I gained important life skills through babysitting, which included ensuring the safety and well-being of children and maintaining strong connections with their parents.

Subsequently, my experience at Consolidated Printing provided me with insights into teamwork and exposed me to a different work environment. This diverse background has allowed me to appreciate the value of working collaboratively and adapting to varied workplace dynamics.

I am currently pursuing a degree in Business Management, and I'm passionate about my coursework. My academic journey has equipped me with a range of technical skills, such as proficiency in Excel and keyboard shortcuts. One of my standout courses is accounting, where I've enjoyed understanding how theory aligns with real-world applications. My academic and practical experiences have prepared me for contributing positively to a professional team and growing within a dynamic business environment.
