Through my studies in Family and Consumer Sciences, I have gained knowledge that will allow me to become a professional in any of the following areas: child and adolescent development, apparel merchandising, family development, life skills, and nutrition education. My particular interest in family and child development has manifested itself in my job with Young Life. At Young Life, I work behind the scenes in Income Processing. By processing the donations and payments that we receive for youth to go to camp and for areas to be supported on a daily basis, I am helping youth develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in an indirect way. This is extremely fulfilling to me. I have the perfect combination of jobs because not only do I get to fulfill my interest in adolescent development, I also am fulfilling my interest in personal health and fitness and fashion. My side job as an Independent Team Beachbody Coach allows me to work directly with others to help them achieve their personal lifestyle and fitness goals. My other side job as a Sales Representative for All the Above Clothing provides me with the opportunity to be in direct communication with boutiques and experience the sales process that is involved with moving clothing items from the warehouse to the sales floor of a boutique.
Listed skills include Apparel Merchandising, Family Studies, Child Development, Consumer Behavior, and 5 others.
