Summary

Hi! I just graduated and received my Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology from San Francisco State University. I plan on attending nursing school in the future as well. I have 10+ years of experience in childcare and babysitting, which has helped me with skills like multitasking and working calmly in stressful and chaotic environments. I also have 3 years of experience as a front desk receptionist at Dermacare Facial Clinic in Woodland Hills, California, so I also have experience in customer service, handling and counting out money, booking appointments, and handling the schedule. I also worked at Lemonade Restaurant in West Portal, San Francisco, when I was in college, so I have a food handling license, and am familiar with working a cash register, handling food, and serving customers.
