What I'm looking for

I’m looking for customer-focused work where I can show up reliably, handle details with care, and help people succeed—whether that’s retail service, beauty support, or creative/editorial tasks.

I’m a kind, empathetic, hardworking professional who commits 110% when I take something on. I’m particular about details, and I enjoy going over everything with a fine-toothed comb to make sure customers feel taken care of.

Currently, I work as a Team Member at Old Navy, handling money and basic cashiering, restocking merchandise, and keeping my workspaces clean and organized. Before that, I was a Beauty Advisor at Sally’s Beauty Supply, helping customers find hair, nail, and skin care, staying up to date on trends, and using upselling while catering to each person.

I also bring experience supporting teams through hands-on roles, including Prep Cook at The Babe and Group Leader/YTC Choreographer at YMCA, where I helped create safe, supportive environments for children while teaching and assisting in rehearsals and learning activities. I’m energized by roles that blend customer service, communication, and helping people succeed.
