Summary
I’ve always been someone who finds purpose in helping others, and that passion has shaped every step of my journey. I'm reliable, observant, friendly, and helpful. Snce I was 15 I have worked in home health care, supporting individuals with patience, empathy, and keeping calm under pressure. I was also lucky enough to help care for my great grandpa former president of Texas A&I before it was A&M.
After that, I have spent my last few years working in the daycare atmosphere, spreading my love and care for children from newborns to Pre‑K 4, and sometimes after‑school groups. This has gave me plenty experiences with different varieties of ages and ethnicities from a early age and has overall thought me how to multitask efficiently, how to stay attentive, while also bringing warmth and care every interaction.
I also dedicated three years to a local boutique in my downtown area, where I learned how to strengthen my customer‑service skills and ultimately allowing me to gain different connection with countless individuals. I have many strong references who can confirm my work ethic, reliability, and genuine care for others would be the perfect fit for this this position at american airlines.
