Summary

Passionate about delivering exceptional customer service across diverse environments, including PCC and Fred Meyer, I am dedicated to helping people and enhancing their experiences. My work with students at SPU provided valuable insights, motivation, and a deeper commitment to personal growth. In Spring 2021, I transitioned to full-time studies, pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at Seattle Central, which I am proud to complete in June 2026. Known for adaptability, strong interpersonal skills, and a proactive approach, I am eager to leverage my experiences and academic background to contribute effectively to dynamic teams.
