PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I was raised and educated overseas as a member
of a US Foreign Service family. I am now a fourth
year college student (George Mason University).
Most of my prior work experience has been
providing customer service to Visa and American
Citizen Services applicants at US embassies, along with general office functions. I love working with, learning from, and helping people. This
spearheaded my line of work as a child care
worker, and wanting to become a counselor.
Another one of my goals that I am working towards
is publishing my debut novel as well as becoming a coder and web designer.
