Summary

I am motivated to gain work experience because I enjoy giving back to my community and I aspire to raise money for a university education. I am a silver medalist academically at my high school and I strive to excell when offered learning opportunities. Being outgoing, I get along well with fellow team members, as well as clients. I enjoy learning new skills and am happy to bring creativity and leadership when needed. Finally, I have a background working with people from all backgrounds and ages, including adapting for disabilities, food sensitivities and allergies, language barriers, and cultural practices. I am excited for new work opportunities to grow, earn, and gain experience.
