Mackenzie Kennedy
Ventura
Summary
Dedicated professional with experience in fast-paced retail environments. Known for effective problem-solving and team collaboration, consistently maintaining operational efficiency while delivering outstanding service to customers. Eager to leverage these strengths to enhance customer experiences.
I have also had some experience working with special needs children and adults as I have participated in the Special Olympics. During my participation I was specifically partnered up with an individual that I went through all the obstacles. My whole goal was to make sure that he was having fun along with staying safe physically and mentally as I watched for different signs of discomfort. As for with adults I have been paid to watch over a family friends special needs daughter who was already considered an adult which I spent a week doing numerous activities along with managing at times tantrums.
