Summary

Since my Freshman year of College I have been Bussing, Hosting, and Running food. It has helped with my communication and teamwork skills. Everyday I strive to get better at what I do in hopes of achieving top customer service. I hope to take these skills to a job which I can best serve those I work for within any path my Political Science degree can assist.

STUDENT ORGANIZATION INVOLVEMENT

  • Texas State Hispanic Business Student Association (HBSA)
  • Fall 2020 - Spring 2024
  • I had joined HBSA in the spring of 2022 because I wanted to be in a student organization that was semi-professional. During my time in HBSA, I had learned many skills that are necessary in the professional world such as how to cooperate and network. Being in HBSA made me more focused on my goals and what I wanted to do in life.
  • Texas State Wake Team
  • I had joined the Texas State Wake team back in the Spring of 2022 but I did not get very involved until the fall of 2022. I am glad I did because I was able to really gain skills related to teamwork, cooperation and how to be somewhat of a mentor figure for our newer members.
