Summary

My work history is very diverse, from painting murals to working with food and service, as well as being a volunteer teacher assistant to finally being a front desk receptionist at a hair salon. From these multiple work experiences, I have acquired the skills I need to adapt to new work opportunities. I have had the opportunity to experiment with leadership due to my confidence in my artistic abilities, working alone yet coordinated with a group of servers, working with children personally and further developing my patience, and my last career as the main receptionist (excluding my manager) at the front desk, coordinating a whole team of employees and their clients, fully developing my ability to complete functions timely, efficiently, and fairly.
