Work Experience
As a manager I was responsible for all day-to-day operations, including overseeing staff, ensuring guest satisfaction, managing finances and budgets, maintaining facilities and equipment, and ensuring compliance with industry regulations and standards.
I joined this start-up company with roles that put me physically on the field as well as in the office. Being a small company, I oversaw many different tasks ranging from customer satisfaction, price point analysis, working in the field as a hydro jetter, and so much more. As it is a small company, we all work closely to build and organize the company.
When I first started working at this job, I was hired as a Hydro Jetter and in my third year in the job I was assigned Assistant Safety Supervisor. As assistant safety supervisor, I oversaw correcting many of the actions of employees on the jobsite to be compliant with OSHA standards. The Head Safety Supervisor and I would organize meetings and required everyone in the company to complete sexual harassment classes online and obtain certificates.
Education
I received my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance, Real Estate, and Law from California State Polytechnic University. During my time at Cal Poly, I was an active participant in the Real Estate Association Club.
During my time at college, I was encouraged to think creatively and come up with practical solutions to complex business challenges. The program emphasized hands-on experiences, allowing me to put what I learned into practice and hone my problem-solving and communication skills. In addition, I was taught the importance of conducting business in a responsible and ethical manner, instilling in me a strong sense of social and environmental responsibility. Overall, my education has been an important foundation for my career in business and I am grateful for the skills and knowledge I gained at Cal Poly Pomona.
