Skills

Reliability is the quality of being dependable and trustworthy, consistently showing up, and following through on commitments. I grew significantly in this area while being a sister, daughter, and aunt. Anything my family needs, I’m there; they can always count on me, rain or shine. I stepped up to help take care of my twin nephews who were premature and in and out of the hospital, even while I was in the 10th grade. Despite almost failing due to overextending myself, I never wavered in my commitment to my family. To continue improving my reliability, I plan to better manage my time, set realistic boundaries, and always prioritize being there for my loved ones whenever they need me.

Attention to detail is the ability to meticulously focus on all aspects of a task, ensuring accuracy and thoroughness. I grew in this skill while being a dog breeder by making sure my buyers feel like part of my family before even meeting them. I create welcome home bags that include personal gifts customized for each customer, demonstrating my commitment to their unique needs. Additionally, I ensure the steps leading up to buying the puppy are as easy and comfortable as possible, so all they need to worry about is preparing their home for their new baby. This dedication to detail has allowed me to provide a seamless and personalized experience for every new puppy owner.

Time management is the ability to effectively plan and control how much time to spend on specific activities. I honed this skill while juggling responsibilities as a dog breeder, working a full-time job, being a college student, and maintaining a personal life. I have to know when my dogs come into heat and approximately how many days until birth. I stay on top of my course deadlines and re-enrollment. I ensure I am at work promptly and finish my tasks in a timely manner. Balancing all these commitments requires meticulous scheduling and prioritization, allowing me to manage my responsibilities efficiently while still finding time to enjoy my life. To improve, I can explore advanced time management techniques like the Pomodoro Technique, set more specific goals, and regularly review and adjust my schedule to optimize productivity.
