While volunteering with Reading Connections, I was able to explore working with children and families. I was able to work with different cultures and immerse myself within their culture to help them learn English. I did different activities with the children while their parents were in class learning English. We made sure to help them advance their skills in all aspects.

While volunteering at the Wake County Animal Center I was able to interact and tend to the animals that are in the process and who have yet to be adopted.

While working at Walgreens, I have been able to work in multiple departments in the store. I was able to work as a cashier, where I practiced customer service skills and cash handling. I was able to work in the photo department where I was skilled in Passport photo taking, canvas making, poster printing, etc. I learned how to successfully keep track of our inventory along with any stocking that needed to be done on the floor. I helped customers successfully drop off and pick up packages that got dropped off by FedEx. Overall I have been honored to learn these different skills with Walgreens and hope to be able to use them in any future endeavors.

While working at American Eagle I picked up on many skills. At this job, they make sure you're constantly engaging with customers and helping them find what they need. I was able to work in many different zones of the store such as greeter, cashier, stock room, and fitting rooms. I was able to help sell the Real Rewards credit card and get the store to its daily goals. I even got the opportunity to package orders for in-store pickup and curbside, along with regular packages that would be shipped out across the country. Collaborated with customer service team members to assist with product information and provide outstanding service. Processed purchases using POS systems to complete cash and credit card transactions.

While working with Progressive Healthcare & Counseling, I was able to assist the business with billing. I made sure that I had each employee's time sheets and my job was to put their hours into the database so they could get paid. The company changed to a more advanced system, so my services were not needed any longer.
