PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Private Home Care, Lincoln, CA December 2020 – Present This position was associated with a private family in which I cared for an elderly gentleman. Caregiver/Personal Assistant

• As the patient’s go-to care person, I monitored him with routine home drop-ins, which included meal preparation and administering oral medications. We also had a fun time socializing and going for walks. This helped him feel more connected with a human being, given that he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia, and he had trouble with most routine activities such as standing, sitting and memory.

• Additionally, I provided a clean and safe environment with house cleaning, grocery shopping, and companionship.

California Family Fitness, Sacramento, CA July 2017 – July 2020 Commercialized fitness center located in the Sacramento-area of California. Group Fitness Instructor

• In this exciting role, I taught group exercise classes at many locations within the CFF chain. I initiated engaging exercise platforms with specific modifications as needed while orchestrating appropriate safety measures for all class formats, including strength training, high intensity cardio, conditioning, stamina, balance, mobility, and flexibility.

• According to management and satisfied guest feedback, my overall performance review for this role improved nearly 40% from my start date until my unexpected furlough in 2020 due to COVID-19. McLaughlin Studios, Loomis, CA November 2017 – June 2019 Small business specializing in music, theatre, and dance lessons for ages 3 to adult. Artistic Director

• One of my favorite roles, this position challenged me while also teaching me the importance of organization, time management, conflict resolution, and working with a variety of personalities.

• As the Artistic Director of stage productions, I strategized the show’s auditioning, casting and rehearsal processes while also heading costume, lighting, prop, dance choreography, and set productions/designs for shows including “The Lion King”, “Grease”, “Mulan”, and “James and the Giant Peach”.

• In addition, I also spearheaded an Acting Coach-role to execute beginning techniques for stage acting. Universal Studios Hollywood, Universal City, CA August 2010 – November 2015 Popular theme park located in the heart of Southern California. Entertainment Performer and Supervisor

• In this position, I dressed up and characterized the beloved star from the black-and-white television series “I Love Lucy” in the park with visiting guests. I am proud to share that I was the 6th woman in the nation to ever be approved by the Desliu estate’s rigorous audition process to publicly portray the Lucille Ball image.

• While at this theme park, I spent time becoming a trained stilt walker and stunt performer. I participated in an array of stage shows and seasonal events. Additionally, I had the immense pleasure of developing role interpretations for performers as an Entertainment Supervisor for the infamous

“Halloween Horror Nights” event.
