Summary

A highly adaptable and culturally aware individual, shaped by a unique upbringing in both Japan and the United States, owing to a military family background. This diverse experience has fostered a global perspective, strong communication abilities, and an exceptional capacity for adaptability. My professional background includes roles such as a Spanish Teacher Assistant at my high school, where I developed instructional and linguistic skills, and a Recreation Aide at a movie theater, where I honed customer service, organizational, and teamwork abilities. Additionally, my experience assisting with hair braiding has enhanced my attention to detail and precision. These varied experiences have equipped me with a robust skill set, including effective communication, problem-solving, and the ability to thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments.
