Summary
I am from Seattle, Washington. I moved to Boise in august of 2019 with my family. I got my first job when I was 14 teaching swim lessons in the summer. My second job was nannying for a family from 2017 until 2019 when I moved. My third job was working for a restaurant in Seattle, called Pizzeria Pulcinella from 2018 to 2019. My fourth was after I moved to Boise, I got a job working for 13th St. Pub and Grill. I worked there from 2019 to 2020. Then I switched to a job that coincided with school easier. I worked as a receptionist at a skilled nursing facility from october of 2019 to March of 2020. I took some time to focus on school at the end of the year. I am attending Oregon State University to get my undergraduate degree in marine biology. After having started by degree at OSU I have worked closely with the Parks and Rec department in multiple different programs. This helped me connect with my new community, as well as maintain a job that operates well with my pursuing higher education.
