Experiences

I work full-time as a receptionist. I screen and check people in, organize and distribute mail and packages, print papers and documents, order and manage office supplies, and am occasionally tasked with helping out our accounting department.

I worked as a professional housekeeper where I would maintain the cleanliness and sanitization of patient rooms, and make sure that they were safe for use. I also cleaned and maintained the aesthetic appearance of public areas around the hospital. I got official training on how to operate a fire extinguisher as the EVS staff was part of the fire brigade at FMH as well.

I started working at LaQuinta in the midst of COVID-19, making sure to clean very thoroughly and diligently and to never take shortcuts. I would also do laundry, perform houseman duties as we were severely understaffed, and even do checkups on the rooms and make sure guests left when needed. I cleaned not just the rooms but the entrance, hallways, stairways and the outside of the building as well.

A lot of what I did was mostly cleaning up rooms and assisting guests when needed. This job helped me to be patient and to work hard to do a good job and satisfy customers. It also taught me to become more compassionate to others as well because I was directly helping others when the time called for it.

It was my first professional experience. I learned a lot, especially about how to work in a business setting. Along with that, I have gained experience on how to better interact with customers and their specific needs.

Skills

Education

I am a high school graduate from West Valley High School in Fairbanks.

Interests

I followed dancing lessons provided at my middle school and enjoyed it a lot.
I was involved in a school play/musical where I was one of the dancers. It helped me develop my cooperation skills.
I draw art everyday and have been for the past seven years.

Since elementary school, I have been playing the violin and I enjoy it because it helps me become more focused and it gives me the capability of learning numerous things in a short amount of time. Music also helps to improve my memory which has only grown stronger thanks to me learning how to play the violin.

In March 2018, I was given the opportunity to go on an EF Tours trip to Italy and France, which broadened my mindset and made me realize the extent of my love for travelling.
In May/June 2019, I went on another EF Tours trip to Japan and discovered more about the Japanese culture and the style of living. It opened my eyes to other cultures and helped me connect with people who didn't speak my language as well. It broadened my view on the world and its differences (along with similarities) among the people.
I frequently buy my own plane tickets and plan my own trips independently to Anchorage whenever I have enough extra money saved up.
I plan on studying abroad in a foreign country in my sophomore year or later at UAF/UAA.
