Summary
I’m a dental student currently in the U.S. on a J-1 visa, looking for a part-time job while continuing my education. I’ve worked in different environments. From restaurants and resorts to photography and teaching, so I’m used to adapting quickly, staying organized, and working hard. I enjoy working with people, and I always try to bring good energy to any team I’m part of. Whether it’s helping customers, handling busy shifts, or learning something new, I take every job seriously and try to do it well.
