This is my second experience in the field of education. This was also one of my favorite work experiences offering me a huge amount of insight of behavioral analysis. I worked one on one with students and took data on their behaviors over time. I would take note, observe, and input data on how to further emotionally and behaviorally help the students work on their reactions. I loved this experience and it instilled in me even more patience and observance.

Working in Targets Fulfillment Team during the Holidays was a very fast paced environment. My job consisted of doing timed online pick up orders (opus), and picking out items to be shipped (untimed). You would most likely see me rushing (safely) around Target to pick up items needed for an online pickup order or a shipment order. Occasionally I would also be in the shipping and receiving department. Overall this experience was fun and rewarding but also very busy and fast during the holidays.
