Summary
I am a very hardworking and dedicated person whom is very close to completing my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology as well. My variety of work experience has equipped me with the necessary skills to pursue a career in this field. While working as a tanning consultant so far this semester at Sun Tan City, I have developed even stronger interpersonal communication skills through interacting with clients and addressing their wants as well as their needs to meet their expectations. My experience working for my school as a psychology work-study student provided me with more knowledge on human behavior and problem-solving skills. Through my experiences working as a bartender, server, cashier, laborer, student, and occasionally caretaker, I have learned ample skills to be able to perform efficiently and be successful in my adult career.
