I enjoy theater and movies. Taking my mass media class in college has made me look at cinematography, costume, make-up as part of the overall experience. Oral Interpretation has taught me to change my tone based on relevant content, time my delivery and minimize/eliminate unnecessary fillers.
I have always had a part-time position in retail sales (cosmetics, women's accessories, women's/men's fragrances, home accessories) where I'm interacting heavily with customers and ensuring they have a gracious experience.
