Rachel Young

Overland Park

Summary

Volunteered a large portion of my summers at a summer camp for kids and teens, this allowed me to grow in compassion and empathy for others, but also taught me to be a strong leader to younger kids. Working for Brancato's Catering Company taught me the value of being a hard worker by having me do manual labor to make sure that the event runs smoothly. Developed better communication skills with clients. Babysitting young kids teaches you patience and cleaning skills, also teaches you good time management when juggling three kids schedules.
