Sacramento, California Area

I volunteered as much as 40 hours a week in the Homeless Primary Care Clinic of the Sacramento, CA Veteran's Administration Medical Center. In this capacity I did whatever was needed on that particular day and for that particular veteran. This work included tasks such as referring veterans to other VA and community programs to assist them with health care and employment; listening to and advocating on behalf of homeless veterans; assisting veterans navigate the hospital campus; explaining necessary treatment plans and details to veterans and their families; office and clerical work; and assisting with Sacramento's own version of the "Stand Down" project previously described elsewhere in my resume.

While not a paid position, I was on the board of directors for a small, Christian church in the San Diego region. In this capacity, I liaisoned with other Christian organizations in the area to work on improving ministering strategies for the area's homeless and needy. I also assisted the pastor in planning for sermons/bible studies, and taught several lessons myself.

I have assisted in creating the internship program for the Balboa Park Online Collaborative, as well as provided IT support to BPOC's clients. Job tasks have included everything from server and desktop/laptop deployments with related support to rewiring video kiosks with upgraded video players and button controls.

From October 2007 to January 2009, I was in the various stages of training in the Marine Corps - first boot camp, then Marine Combat training, and then my Calibration school in Biloxi, MS. I graduated at the top of my class in Biloxi and received a Certificate of Commendation. I was stationed in Okinawa, Japan starting in January 2009.While attached to 3rd Maintenance Battalion, I was a top maintenance performer with over 160 items repaired and calibrated. I trained 20 Marines on quality assurance resulting in top audit performance Marine Corps wide. I developed the repair section standard operating procedures as well as special guidelines for specific gear, and implemented cost saving techniques which saved the unit over $100,000 without sacrificing operational readiness. I mentored junior Marines, providing career guidance and performance evaluation. I was awarded a Certificate of Commendation for outstanding performance above and beyond the call of duty. In February 2010, I was transferred to the Wounded Warrior Battalion and was honorably discharged from the service in March 2011 with medical benefits. This unique duty assignment had me working with case management services as well as various rehabilitation services as a client. As a result of this, I have a unique insight into what it is like to require case management work as well as mental health services, and sparked my interest in pursuing a degree in psychology.

Murray, Ut

I was a top salesman for the company and worked my way up from the lowest, entry level position to the assistant manager of the company's largest and most important store. Sales figures ranged from $5,000 to $10,000 monthly and I was trusted with the repair of high grade time pieces.As the assistant manager at the highest volume location in the company, my duties included training and supervision of sales associates, particularly at times when the General Manager was not in the store. I set the store's weekly staffing hours in conjunction with the General Manager and was expected to carry out all management duties frequently during the hours when the General Manager was not present. As such, I was often interfacing with District Managers and other higher management (including Vice Presidents) concerning issues like inventory management, sales targets, employee morale and customer service issues.

As the box office closing manager, in addition to regular box office duties (such as providing general customer service and assistance, as well as booking reservations for shows), it was my duty to perform all tasks related to closing out a business day. This included ensuring that all financial transactions were properly logged and accounted for in both the box office as well as with food sales (and tips for food service staff) in both operating theaters. Minor security details were a part of the job as well, such as walking the perimeter, ensuring all entrances to the building were properly locked, and ensuring all employees had departed safely.
