As a student

I was employed at the Under Armour store in Gilroy for a total a year and eleven months. I would work there on weekends and holidays when I was not staying on campus. During my time there I would observe the managers on shift by asking them questions on sales and what we could do to meet our store goals. I had the privilege of helping the non-english speaking families that walked into the store by providing them with the in-store promotions, the selection of products, and purchasing. I was taught how to use different devices for purchasing items when the store was at it's busiest which showed how fast I could learn in a fast-paced environment.

I worked at Calvin Klein along with my other job at Under Armour as another opportunity to learn how to make sales and learn from my associates what it takes to run a store. Working there I attained  different clientale than Under Armour and gathered more knowledge in customer needs. The environment in both jobs is a big change that teaches me patience and adaptibility. I am glad I was able to gather more retail knowledge during my summer break.

Service Learning: 

My second semester of Freshman year I took a service learning course not knowing what it was. I'm glad I did because I was able to connect with a community that I had yet not been a part of. I did my service learning hours at Bahia Vista Elementary School every Wednesday morning. During my time there I've learned to engage with students one-on-one, and strengthen my communication skills. I believe that this will benefit me in my Business journey to communicate with clients one-on-one with no issues. My role at Bahia Vista was to assist the teacher with small activities during class time, tutor students individually, and change out their homework for the day. 

Hours completed throughout the course:  20 hrs.
