Professional Summary
From age 13, I gained early work experience through babysitting, which instilled in me a sense of responsibility and care. At 16, I transitioned to Chick-fil-A, where I thrived as a team member. This role was more than just a job; it was an environment that reinforced the values of teamwork and dedication, feeling much like a second family.
Seeking to better manage my finances, I moved on to pursue higher-paying opportunities. During this period, while navigating the start of my college journey and coping with the unexpected loss of my father, my employment was intermittent.
For the past year 1/2 I worked as a PCA, but the position didn’t provide the financial stability I need. I am actively seeking a more demanding and rewarding job to secure my financial future and better manage my expenses.
