National Charity League / Volunteer Worker
JULY 2011 - JULY 2017, LOS ALAMITOS/ORANGE COUNTY AREA Starting in seventh grade, up until my Senior year in high school, my mother and I volunteered to help others in our community. NCL helped us make friends and realize how fortunate we really are. I worked at a handful of local philanthropies but I spent the most time at our chapter’s thrift shop. I not only learned to prepare merchandise for sale; I was also trained to use a cash register and
‘balance the books’.
To obtain knowledge of the day-to-day inner workings of a business through a part-time job while simultaneously attending CSULB. Los Alamitos Community Youth Center / Camp Counselor JUNE 2014- AUGUST 2014, LOS ALAMITOS
Spending over 250 hours volunteering at the local community center, I was trained in communications and child care from an early age. Preparing food, supervising recess and activities, teaching, leading craft demos and playing games were just a few of a counselor’s everyday duties.
Forever 21 / Sales Associate
APRIL 2018- AUGUST 2018, LOS CERRITOS CENTER
For my first official job, I dedicate my time to organizing and perfecting the overall look of our sales floor. As well as improving the ease and functionality of the individual’s shopping experience, customer service is one of my everyday duties. Checking for item availability, independently zoning 50-100 racks, and organizing and distributing up to 15 go back racks are just a little bit of what I am used to handling.
PetSmart / Pet Care Associate
AUGUST 2018- PRESENT, AT THE SEAL BEACH LOCATION
As a Pet Care Associate, my responsibilities are feeding and caring for the animals that are sold at my PetSmart location. My knowledge is concentrated in caring for reptiles, small animals, fish, and birds but extends to dogs, cats, and other furry friends. I pride myself in my work and enjoy sharing my vast knowledge of animals in those who need it. Memorizing important pet information is a large part of my position but I am not afraid to ask for help so I can ensure that the information I give is accurate and helpful. ㅡ
