SUMMARY
As a graduate of a school that studies agriculture, I have had many opportunities to work in various fields like horticulture, food science, biotechnology and animal science. My main area of study is animal processing and food safety, and I have been trained and certified by OSHA to protect myself and others while working on jobs.
As for work experience, I have been employed by the grocery store County Fair Foods for a little more than two years now. I started off as a baker, and then in January of 2022 they transferred me up front where I was trained to become a cashier. Since then, I have learned to count money accurately, manage my time, memorize a variety of different numbers, and provide good customer service.
