Summary
Enthusiastic, energetic, flexible worker with many experiences in various different jobs, mainly focusing on working with customers and kids. These experiences taught to be a leader, to make tough decisions, how to approach various situations, and the needs and desires of many different ages. Worked with many different organizations that raise money for pediatric cancer, give underprivileged kids new opportunities to socialize and experience things that would not have been able to otherwise, and take care of migrant children and families seeking asylum in the Unites States. All of these organizations have made it possible to see and approach life in a different lens, gave new skills implemented into everyday life, and gave a better appreciation of the privileges and opportunities that many people might not have. All of these jobs have also taught skills of interacting with other employees and customers.
