I’m a hardworking student with a passion for learning and helping others.
What I'm looking for
I’m currently studying biology at BYU–Hawaii and looking to gain valuable work experience while building meaningful professional skills. I bring strong organization, communication, and problem-solving abilities to everything I do — whether that’s assisting others, managing tasks, or learning new systems quickly. I’m excited to contribute to a team where I can make a difference and grow.
