-Learned different types of jewelry and price points, sold and
upsold merchandise, I worked with a different crowd of people, Going from
one extreme to the other will really push your people skills.
Gaps in employment were all because of being at school, and or taking too
many courses at one time to work.
About me: I am an ambitious person who dreams of one day having my own
business. I feel that every bit of help that I can get to reach my goals
is a huge stepping-stone to push me forward. This is something I hope to
repay then one day to others in return. Massage is my passion and I don't
know what I would do if I wasn't doing it every day. I hope to take more
classes so that I can work with all kinds of clients from cancer patients
to children. Beyond massage I love to bake, paint, draw, sculpt, read and
collect toys. Mexican art, zombies, horror movies, dia de los muertos, and
people's life events inspire me. I am an appreciator of all types of art
including tattoos, which I my self have several because I appreciate the
time and skill that go into the artwork that make some pieces breathtaking.
From the food on a well-dressed plate to a painting in a gallery art is
everything to me.
