Alexandra Ayim

I am an assistant hairstylist. I developed many skills in time management, team work, and customer service through this experience.

• Improved employee retention rates by conducting thorough exit interviews and addressing identified issues proactively.
• Raised employee satisfaction levels by facilitating open lines of communication between staff and management regarding career development opportunities.
• Developed strong relationships with industry professionals, ensuring a robust network for potential candidates.

I started my own baking business. It has not been easy doing it alone, but it has been more or less successful. I have developed many skills when it comes to autonomy, customer service, time management, and marketing.

I worked with children with disabilities. I helped provide a friendly, inclusive, and welcoming environment for these children who sometimes may feel out of place in this society.

• Supported engaging, fun, and smooth-running events by helping with organization and planning.
• Communicated with staff members to stay informed about volunteer opportunities and events.
• Represented organization positively and professionally while providing community with much-needed services.
• Used strong interpersonal communication skills to convey information to others.

I was a member of our school's environmental activist.

• Raised awareness
• Created sustainable ways of living in our school by:

- Recycling plastic bottles and creating bins with them.

- Partnering with an external source to recycle used paper and turn it into toilet paper.

• Cultivated a supportive environment by addressing issues such as bullying prevention through awareness campaigns led by the Class President office.
• Collaborated with other class officers to develop strategies for improving overall student satisfaction within the school community.
• Fostered productive relationships between different grade levels through inter-class competitions and collaboration on school-wide initiatives.
• Motivated classmates to participate in extracurricular activities, boosting overall involvement in clubs and sports teams.

I worked as a teaching assistant at this kindergarten for kids around the age of 0-5 years of age. Montessori schools have a different approach on Education and that is what I strive for. We need to have more developmentally accurate practices for children in our education system at such a sensitive period. This internship challenged me in many ways and opened up my perspective on new approaches to education.

• Analyzed problems and worked with teams to develop solutions.
• Developed organizational skills through managing multiple tasks simultaneously while adhering to strict deadlines.
• Interacted with customers by phone, email, or in person to provide information.
