About Me

I am looking for an occupation that will benefit me educationally and financially. In previous jobs, I have gained lots of customer service, office/administration work, physical labor (farm/ranch work, lawn care, housekeeping), barista experience, cook/food preparation, and working internally for a couple different businesses. I am self motivated and desire to do all I can to achieve my goals. I am willing to work diligently with as many hours needed of me, that also works with my class schedule. I have a passion for helping others, and it is an extra bonus for me to be the one to bring smiles to other people's faces.
