What I'm looking for

I am looking for a part-time role in a supportive team that allows me to grow while pursuing my degree.

My name is Samantha Lombard, and I am currently pursuing a degree in Human Services while working part-time in a senior living environment. I have been employed at UMH – Wesley Heights since 2021, where I started as a dining aide and was promoted to Assistant to Chef Supervisor in 2023. My role involves taking orders, serving meals, and assisting kitchen staff to meet the dietary needs of residents, ensuring a high standard of care and service.

In addition to my work at Wesley Heights, I am a licensed hairdresser and barber, having obtained my State of CT License in June 2023. I provide haircuts, coloring, and barbering services to family and friends, showcasing my ability to connect with clients and deliver quality services. My educational background includes graduating from Emmett O’Brien Technical High School in June 2023, where I received awards for Public Service Skills and Hairdressing.
