As a goal-driven individual, I’ve had the privilege of gaining valuable experience in both retail and education, two fields that have shaped my passion for working with people and helping them succeed. My experiences as a Retail Sales Associate and as a personal tutor have given me a unique blend of customer service skills and the ability to create personalized learning experiences.Retail ExperienceCurrently, I am a Retail Sales Associate at HomeGoods, where I’ve had the opportunity to hone my customer service and multitasking abilities. My role includes working the register, processing transactions, and providing assistance to customers with a friendly and welcoming approach. Whether helping customers at checkout or answering questions, I always aim to ensure that each shopper leaves with a positive experience. Additionally, I assist with inventory, stocking merchandise, and supporting the team during store openings and closings.Tutoring ExperienceAlongside my retail job, I have been self-employed as the founder of a personal tutoring business. In this role, I work with a middle school student, specifically 6th and 7th grade, to improve their math skills. I take a student-centered approach by assessing each individual’s unique needs and tailoring study plans that help them build confidence and achieve academic success. Tutoring has always been a passion of mine. Even during high school, I tutored peers as part of Students4Students, an extracurricular program aimed at helping classmates excel academically. I am eager to continue making a difference in students' lives.Future PlansAs I look ahead, I am excited to begin my journey toward becoming a teacher. I plan to attend college to pursue a degree in Early Childhood Education, with the ultimate goal of building a career where I can shape young minds and foster a love for learning in future generations.
