I have lived all around the Northwestern suburbs and for a while lived in Nevada. I have a fiance who is currently pursuing a degree as well. We live in an apartment together with our 4 pets. I consider myself a busy person between full-time school and full-time work. I usually only have a day off from either about every 2-3 months. I enjoy learning and wish to do so throughout my life.
I have been working for several years now at many diffrent companies. Currently I work at CVS Pharmacy as a shift supervior full time. I have been there for over a year now and it has helped me gain knowledge on being a mid level manager. This is the first time where I am in charge of others and are expected to maintain the flow of a shift. The other companies I have worked for in the past includes:
Eventually I would like to obtain a job in the business corporate sector. I would prefer to work in human resources or management. One of my short term goals is to pass the Japanese Language Proficiency Exam (JLPT) someday with a 2nd ranking score. This means that I will have a level of understanding that of an average Japanese highschooler would. Another short term is to be accepted for my Master's program at Neiu. For long term goals I would like to open up a reptile sanctuary for abandoned reptiles as there is not one currently in the area and often current pet shelters do not have the resources to care for them.
English is the only language I am fully proficent in currently. I am now studying Japanese via self study and group learning. With Japanese I have about an Elementary understanding of the language. I find the grammar to be simple, but the writing system to be difficult as Japanese uses 3 alphabets in one sentence. Here is an example:
I am most familiar with mircosoft office programs as I used most of them at school or a work to some degree. I have also used some adobe programs such as photoshop and illustrator. I also have an understanding of computer hardware and how each of the parts connect to each other. The table below shows which Microsoft Office programs I know and my degree of proficiency with a range of 1 to 5 with the higher number denoting a greater level of proficiency.
| Microsoft Program | Level of Proficiency |
|---|---|
| Word | 5 |
| PowerPoint | 4 |
| Excel | 2 |
| Publisher | 3 |
| Outlook | 4 |
| Access | 3 |
My main hobbies are my pet reptiles. I currently have 4 of them. From oldest to youngest I have Cleo the red-eared slider, Walter the Russian tortoise(pictured), Alice the Chinese water dragon, and Borris the bearded dragon. Each day I take at least one of them out to play and if the weather is warm I take them to the park. Another hobby of mine is to color in adult coloring books. I often do not have time to color between school and work. I find it to be very relaxing and allows me to meditate for a while.
