Summary

Working most of high school, I have developed skills in different fields such as customer service, cash handling, the computer system, and working in retail. It has been an eye opening experience to have the privilege to work from a young age as I have learned many lessons about myself and my work values from the different jobs that I've had. I hope to believe that I am strong in making connections with customers, have a friendly and positive attitude and am a determined, hard worker. I am always open to challenges and try to solve them as best as I can. I also take pride in making collaborations with the people in my work place and being in an environment full of support and teamwork.
