What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an entry-level role where I can deliver excellent customer service, reliably handle assigned responsibilities, and learn fast. I’ll bring clear communication, attention to detail, and a calm, friendly approach.

I’m a motivated hard worker who wants to use my skills and passion to help others, while continuing to learn and grow. I bring excellent customer service and the ability to stay calm and friendly under stress.

In my care work, I provided daily support to an elderly client living independently, handling housekeeping, meal prep and grocery help, transportation to appointments, and communication with doctors and professionals. I also managed medication by overseeing daily dosages and coordinating with the pharmacy, while making sure they had companionship and emotional support.

Beyond caregiving, I’ve welcomed guests as a horse trail guide by matching riders to horses, leading safe rides, and following safety and emergency procedures. I’ve also delivered detail-oriented service in retail and car wash environments—using POS, handling refunds/exchanges/returns, maintaining clean front-desk operations, balancing cash drawers, and keeping accurate appointment and sales records.
