I am a recent high school graduate with hands-on experience working with children and in fast-paced food service environments. Since August 2024, I’ve worked at the Vicki Soto Center with children ages 3–4, where I gained experience supporting early childhood education under the supervision of certified staff. I also currently work at Buffalo Wild Wings as a cashier, host, busser, and takeout team member, developing strong customer service, multitasking, and teamwork skills. I plan to begin studying nursing at Norwalk Community College in Fall 2025, with future goals of specializing in pediatric or forensic nursing. My experience has trained me to be dependable, caring, and adaptable in both childcare and professional settings.
