Stavro Running

Proactive and detail-oriented, I excelled at Costco by streamlining inventory processes and enhancing customer satisfaction. Demonstrated expertise in inventory tracking and fostering customer relationships, significantly contributing to team efficiency and maintaining high food safety standards. Similarly in a classroom setting, I developed new skills, showcasing adaptability and a commitment to supporting student development, while managing a range of diverse classroom needs.

Student Leadership & Youth Empowerment (SLYE)
While volunteering for this organization, I had the opportunity to develop my skills and manage my responsibilities. One of the main skills that I learned was being compassionate. This helped me to understand what people were feeling and what help they needed. A responsibility that I took away from this experience would be communication. While helping with the youth outreach initiative, I learned to be able to gather information to find specific resources for an individual. This taught me how to correctly communicate with individuals in order to completely understand their needs. In turn, this also taught me patience, commitment, and dedication, which enhanced my overall ability to become an effective and efficient leader.

This position encompassed many responsibilities that would help benefit me in a work environment. These responsibilities included organizing and packing the donated food. This enhanced my organizational skills and taught me to be diligent as I had to prepare the bags within a deadline. Another skill that was enhanced was my collaboration. Working alongside my peers allowed me to create a positive work environment and improve my work ethic to successfully complete my assigned duties at the food bank.
