Personal

I am a responsible, smart, hardworking, courageous, honorable, reliable, inspired, and resilient young woman of faith.

Qualifications

I have been an active participant in service since my childhood. In elementary school I was given the foundation and tools to go out and make a difference in my community. I have worked with children, and that work has been extremely rewarding. My internship at Forensic Science Associates this year really sparked my interest to do lab research.

Experience

January 5, 2005-January 14, 2005 Intern, Forensic Science Associates

I did an internship for FSA this year. I worked with criminalists to examine head stamps on different bullets and compared them to a shell found at a crime scene. I assisted in recreating DNA using PCR technology and created DNA markers from crime scene evidence. I also helped examine latent fingerprints in the lab.

May 2003-February 2004 Volunteer, Sunrise Assisted Living

I ran various activities for the senior citizens like bingo. I gave some of the residents’ manicures. I helped the residents that could not walk, and I provided conversation and companionship for the lonely. I did some limited work with Alzheimer’s patients as well.

June 2003-August 2003 Employee, Galerie Dionisi

I worked at Galerie Dionisi in West Hollywood. I performed duties such as cleaning and assisting with clients. I helped host art openings for several artists where I informed guests about the artist, served food and drinks, and I helped to hang the shows.

December 2000-June 2001 Volunteer, Springhill Elementary School

I was a teacher’s assistant at Springhill Elementary School in Lafayette, CA. I volunteered on a daily basis and formed bonds with “my” third grade students. I graded papers and tutored students with class work that was challenging for them like math or grammar. I also planned the activities for physical education, and sports.

1999-present Babysitter

I have been a great baby sitter for several families over the past four years. My duties have included cooking, cleaning, administering minor first aid, and homework help. Many families do not like their kids to watch much television, so I have had to be creative with activity ideas.
