Summary

I am currently entering my final year at UCSB where I hope to graduate next summer with a BSc in Economics. I have just returned from a summer in Barcelona where I undertook summer school. I was born in Europe and have traveled extensively so I have a good insight into many different cultures and can interact empathetically with people from varied cultures. Over the three prior summers, I have been trusted as a pet and house sitter for many people in San Jose and understood my customers' needs and always strove to exceed their expectations. One thing I always prided myself on was providing consistent communication and managing daily tasks to reduce homeowner stress. Offering strong problem-solving abilities and a flexible schedule for optimal client satisfaction.
